So I have a Synology server that I have a good deal of experience with, so this post will be through that lens.
What I’d like to do is set up a Raspberry Pi exclusively for pirating. So Qbittorrent and Proton VPN to get started, later Radarr, Lidarr, etc. I don’t think I’ll have a problem getting the Pi up and running, but I’d like to run it like my server, tucked away somewhere without a monitor or peripherals.
How do I access it? For my Synology box, I just put in a browser the local ip port 5000 and I have a whole desktop right there. But when I google about how I’d access a Pi, everything points to using SSH. I know a lot of people have Pis set up like this and surely they can’t be administering the whole thing through CLI, right? How do I get a similar setup to my Synology such that I can just get a desktop interface in a browser?
Since Jellyfin, qbitTorrent-nox and the arr-suite are available as docker containers, you could try one of the many docker web UIs. I never used one of them since I’m happy with my one file docker compose configuration, so I can’t recommend one.
I use Portainer to manage Docker. It’s really easy.
My are stack is just one big docker config except in Portainer it’s called a “Stack”
