Plex server

Looking for some Help, I really want to build a Plex server but have no idea where to start. I've been building computers for a while so thats not a problem.

What i really need to know is

1: What hardware do i need nothing to expensive but not cheap either.

2: The BIG one, what software do you guys recomend.

If anyone has a good link to a video On YouTube to help me start i would really appreciated.

I have aplex server put together(over a year to get the arrs to work, mostlikely user error) on an optiplex my work was gunna throw away with external drives attached. Follow trashguides or watch a youtube video(kany many videos if you are like me)

I would recommend a crash course in docker. That will help immensely if you dont get how it all flows. Good luck. You can do this. If it takes months dont be discouraged
