I recently converted an old dell laptop to a server by installing Ubuntu server and casa os on it as I wanted to have some info of how it works but since then I have grown a liking towards the sheer amount of things I can host on it. I want to host pihole/adguard on it but i don't know if it is safe to keep it running overnight as it's a laptop. Currently I shut it down at night but for adguard I'll need it running all the time. I'm just worried abut the battery or maybe the hardware will malfunction as its a laptop.

I have an old hp dual core laptop running Ubuntu with pihole on it 24/7. Battery is in, plugged in, with screen open and on 24/7 - 365. It’s been fine now for over a year, i upgrade the software once every few months.

Why do you leave the screen open?
