Advice wanted: Combining current solutions into one home server (sh.itjust.works)

I currently have a hodgepodge of solutions for my hosting needs. I play ttrpgs online, so have two FoundryVTT servers hosted on a pi. Then I have a second pi that is hosting Home Assistant. I then also have a synology device that is my NAS and hosts my Plex server.

I'm looking to build a home server with some leftover parts from a recent system upgrade that will be my one unified server doing all the above things in the same machine. A NAS, hosting a couple Foundry instances, home assistant, and plex/jellyfin.

My initial research has me considering Unraid. I understand that it's a paid option and am okay with paying for convenience/good product. I'm open to other suggestions from this community.

The real advice I'm hoping to get here is a kind of order of operations. Assume I have decided on the OS I want to use for my needs, and my system is built. What would you say is the best way going about migrating all these services over to the new server and making sure that they are all reachable by web?

Because I play two weekly games.

Curious as to why you don't just run those as separate games on the same server, since Foundry has the functionality for that?

Because I want them both accessible at the same time.

Fair enough. Well, you definitely should be moving those over to Docker then, it'll be much better for efficient use of resources.
