It honestly took me months to get a proxmox server up and running, you kinda gotta mix and match to figure things out for your hardware. TeddyKila suggested r/selfhosted to get started, they've been a great resource for me to. Some other posters on the tech instance here have been invaluable for trouble shooting too. I would suggest perusing YouTube for it to pick up a lot of the general knowledge.
Also, refurbished enterprise hard drives on eBay are a steal! I have 2x 16tb drives on a mirror backup (so only 14tb, but if one fails I don't lose everything) and they were like $140 ish each.
Yep! I have an old work station computer that I built for a job years ago that I just transplanted into a cheep server rack case. Old hard drives from laptops as the main OS drives, a cheap networking card and switches. As the old laptop drives go out I'll just replace them with an SSD, it's a mirror array, so it's easy for one to go down and I just drop the new one in and have it all copy over.
An old Core i3 or Ryzen 3, 4+ gb of RAM, throw a cheap 3.5" HDD in it and install your OS. Proxmox is pretty preferred in the hobbyist scene, takes some technical skill but there's a lot of help out there for free on different forums. Feel free to DM me with questions if you like too! I'm not super reliable, but I'll try.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get the care that you need soon! But honestly, building a computer to serve up TV shows probably isn't the best for working on that... Not trying to tell you how to live your life, but maybe find a more active hobby?
Good to hear!
