I want to give you some advice: Use Jellyfin, not plex. It has far deviated to a "hub" for other streaming services and unless you want to have built-in streaming platforms on your home media server, or have plex's own "live tv" service shoved up your rear, I would steer clear.
Jellyfin is pretty lightweight if you're just streaming 1-2 connections at a time, I ran it on a raspberry pi 4 for a while and it was near flawless, only recently have I made a proper VM setup for it.
The only problem is properly exposing jellyfin to the Internet. How do you do it?
I'm not planning on leaving Plex anytime soon. But I did plan on setting up jellyfin in parallel to play with it and learn about it. But this stopped me in my tracks.
I don't want my family to need to VPN into my network. Plex, for as frustrating as it is in many ways, just works. And it works on so much stuff.
Tailscale is what I do. If you make an exit nice they can forever stay on your VPN... I think...
