Bridge WiFi between two devices?
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.

In NetworkManager you can setup network sharing using Ethernet port on the laptop, then connect cable to your server.
Downside of that is you need to setup port forwarding in your laptop if you want to open port.
Thanks I'll try this, don't need to open ports, as I use Tailscale 🙌
Found a listener of Jupiter Broadcasting
Member* of JupiterBroadcasting 🤗 But I was using Tailscale before I found their show haha
It was the combination of Nixos btw and tail scale that gave it away
Hahaha yeah fair point, I'm also quite new to Linux so Nix is a lot at once, but really love it so far!
