I know you're trying to go full self service but that's likely overkill and given your limited resources you should maintain some control.
How about setting up resource pools in proxmox? You can permission accounts so that your dad and your friend only have access to manage the vms in their resource pool. You would need to create the vms/containers for them and assign to the pool but that would be the extent of your involvement. But that would allow you to maintain a certain level of control over your environment.
To be clear you'd just be creating the vm. They could do the actual os installs and whatnot provided you permission the pool properly.
