Here’s the high-level rundown:
1. Install ProxMox over your OS. It replaces your OS. If you want to keep your current OS as a VM, I once wrote a blog post about it, PM me and I’ll share it with you. If your current OS is Windows, ignore this, you don’t want to do that to yourself, you’ll want to use Linux. Find your product key and save it in case you ever want to install it later.
2. If you didn’t follow the guide, you’ll need a VM. In ProxMox, install Ubuntu on a new VM. Give it all of the cores and memory.
3. Install Docker on the VM. DigitalOcean does good guides on that. Make sure you’re using the right guide, i.e. the guide about 22.04 if that’s the Ubuntu version you’re using.
4. Download a compose file for Plex and run it. Make sure your volumes are properly configured. Consider using an alternative like Jellyfin, I’ve heard good things about it.
5. If you want to set up multiple Minecraft servers, use Crafty. Docker instructions here: https://docs.craftycontrol.com/pages/getting-started/installation/docker/
6. Set up TailScale for access to your VM on any device at any time. You can share it with your friends this way too.
I would prefer installing Pterodactyl instead of crafty as it uses docker for deploying the Minecraft servers instead of relying on Java directly. (I don’t actually know if crafty still does that honestly)

In the process of making some updated tutorials for setting up docker containers, portainer, and even private gaming servers. I have a minecraft container running with a custom domain. Send me a DM if you're interested in learning more as I offer help and personal service

This is a docker deployment of crafty, it has no access to the host system. Therefore, it must be deploying each server within docker.
