Hosting your media server on Proxmox (alien.top)

So just curious how people host their media server on VM’s. I currently run all my arrs downloading and Plex in docker containers but am really interested in migrating to proxmox and breaking everything up in VMs. Just curious how people have their applications set up. Are they containerized? Or installed directly into a VM. I downloading pimox for one of my raspberry pis to have a fiddle but unfortunately couldn’t even load a VM to test. O read some of the documentation and it didn’t really seem clear to be able to just straight install into a vm. It appears to learn more towards containerization. Any info would be great thanks

I run a VM for storage (Samba & NFS) and a VM for Plex. Maybe not ideal, but I wanted to keep the proxmox install as clean as possible when I set it up (2015) and was moving from VirtualBox so I was more familiar with that architecture.
