Bridge WiFi between two devices? - eviltoast

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.

    I actually do have a spear rpi actually! However I was planning on running HomeassistantOS on it. But could do what you do as a temporary solution. If you wouldn’t mind and have the time to look up your solution I would highly appreciate it 🙌
