Not sure if that title is accurate, this field is not my strong point. Basically I’m about to move homes. And in my new (temporary) home I wont have access to ethernet, plus my server doesn’t have a network card. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to bridge a connection between my laptop to my server with an ethernet cable. This would obviously be a short term solution, but I’m wondering if it’s possible and if so, how? Or is it better to buy a cheap network card?
My laptop is running NixOS and my server Unraid, if it should be to any help.
How does your laptop have internet?
Depending on what’s on the server it might be simpler to run a VM and a temporary solution.
Via WiFi, sry if that wasn’t clear. I simply don’t have access to the router as that belongs to the landlord. He has a separate network for me, but it’s on his side of the house 😅
I think moving what you can to your laptop is the simplest approach depending on what you need. You will likely be without some stuff but it will be simpler to setup than a direct connection.
Of course if you have a ton of data that may not work.
