Comment on What can I do with an old laptop?

I have a laptop motherboard setup with proxmox running:
- plex
- radarr,sonarr,prowlarr
- opnsense
- foundry VTT
- pi-hole
- unifi controller
- qbittorrent
- kavita
This is running on an i5-1135 with 40gigs of memory. If your frugal about how you have stuff setup you can pack alot of services into old laptops.

If I may ask, how exactly do you use OPNsense? Is it a gateway between two interfaces, or do you just use it for the LAN-facing services?

Yes its my main router. Everything comes into the laptop across one interface setup as a trunk that includes vlans for WAN, LAN, etc. From there proxmox has a vlan aware linux bridge setup that connects to all the VMs/containers that I run. The VM virtual interfaces get tagged with whatever network I want the host to be part of.

What about wireless devices, are they on the LAN side too?

Yes. A unifi ap connects all my wireless devices to my LAN
