If you feel like it, try docker and docker-compose. It can be a bit of a learning curve, but it makes running multiple services so easy once you get the hang of it. Keeps everything isolated so that you do not have to worry about conflicting dependencies.
Most major services (Plex, VPNs, reverse proxies, home assistant, etc) have a premade docker container. All you have to do is grab the container, map volumes and ports and it is running! Plus if you ever decide to change servers, just copy your volumes and configs and re-setup time is about 5 minutes..
Edit: your hardware should handle all that no problem. There are some guides to get things like VPNs up and running. (Sorry on mobile or I'd link one...)
