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?

I think it's running Raspberrian. I wanted something Debian based, and thought the official image will do (it does).

Specifically on my Pi, I've set it up in such a way that even if it loses power or internet, I won't need to do anything for it to be back up.

But I did have lottts of problems on my VPS. programs crashed, Out Of Memory crashed the OS... really, no shortage of errors. And I had service there I used all the time like music.

So what I did is use Termux on my phone. this way I could SSH to it from anywhere. Just click the button, run a few commands and be back on with my day. It's the most convenient way I've found. being able to do it from my phone on the go. And since it's CLI it was much easier to do. Just run the command needed and leave.

If you want I can elaborate on what Termux is and how I used it here.
