Best way to get Home Assistant and Plex server running on mini pc? (lemmy.world)

I just bought a mini PC to use as a Plex Server and realised that maybe it's a good way to host my Home Assistant instance as well. Currently HA is on a raspberry pi 4.

What's the best approach to get both running on a mini PC? And is it even the best approach or should I just leave HA the way it is now?

Mini PC I got is the Beelink EQ12

Put Linux on it and then use docker container

For HASS yeah Docker will do (that's what I run). I think there's also a snap package available.

Plex had a native Debian package if you add the Plex repo, so it's super easy to install and update.
