Problems with storage in VM

Hi everyone!
I'm kinda new with the homelabbing stuff. Currently have a QNAP NAS running my Plex server, but it's kinda bad staying up-to-date with the apps as the unit is kinda old. Nevertheless I intend to keep using it as storage, and move my services to a dedicated server.

Here comes the problem. Currently I'm using an old laptop I had lying around with proxmox. Created a Debian VM to run plex, overseer, radarr and sonarr. Already installed Plex and I can't see my NAS to configure the libraries.

tried this: https://www.geekbitzone.com/posts/2022/proxmox/plex-lxc/install-plex-in-proxmox-lxc/ to create an SMB share, when I enable it nothing happens, and if I try to start it i get "Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details."

Other tutorials I found around got me nowhere too, so I'm kinda lost here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hey there,
Might have nothing to do with it, but...;)
...you say you have a debian VM yet the link you posted is for a lxc...why don't you use docker and then a docker container running plex in that vm OR build a lxc and try that link.

Tried this way because heard somewhere it's a good way to keep the services that work together "grouped" and made sense lol
