PLEX in my own house runs as a docker container on unraid. It's linux under the hood (a huge plus in my eyes because that 1982 interface is FAR superior to any GUI) but with a very newb friendly UI. It's capabilities FAR outclass the vast majority of alternatives.

If you're willing to venture the slightest bit outside of your comfort zone and learn a little then take a look at unraid. The problem is you'll eventually want more. You are paying for someone else to decide how it's done for you. The 220+ is affordable, memory expandable, has plenty of horsepower and can do a billion other things beyond PLEX.
