Preface - I'm a Proxmox/Linux newbie - all my experience is with Windows.

I've installed Proxmox and have Home Assistant (VM) and Plex (LXC) installed. I've just added a hard drive (/dev/sdb), that I would like to use to store media for Plex sharing. That's as far as I got before running out of knowledge and skill!

From here, I need to know the steps to create the folder, and Plex point at it. I would also like to share this folder so I can copy files to it from my Windows PC. Can anyone please walk me through it step by step?
