Plex on ProxMox Tutorial WITH nVidia Hardware Encoding

Thank to LEXAR for sponsoring this video. Head over to https://amzn.to/35Ip47V to check out the LEXAR NM610 PCIe NVMe drive. Looking back, this should have likely been two videos, but its too late now. All in this one post, we're going to install Plex into a ProxMox virtual machine, configure ProxMox for PCIe passthrough, configure our virtual machine to allow the nVidia drivers to install, and setup hardware encoding in Plex. But first... What am I drinking??? Ft. George (Astoria, OR) Magnanimous (completely been saying it wrong all these years...) A 7% Winter-inspired IPA. This is an annual release for Ft. George, and this year the flavor is ever so slightly different. Still solid, but less 'Christmas Tree-y', and a little hint of lemon. Still delicious, but not quite the same as years' past.
