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?

So the primary reason I'm going with Ubuntu is because my VPN is Proton and

Our app officially supports the latest stable Ubuntu LTS version running the GNOME desktop environment.

So I'm afraid it might not run on anything else. The other stuff I want to run, Qbittorrent and eventually the *arrs, will probably run on anything. And it looks like I'll probably need Docker anyway. So the real constraint right now driving the OS choice is Proton.

You do not need the ProtonVPN App. You can simply use OpenVPN logins provided by ProtonVPN, they should have a section telling you how you can do it.

Go it!

This is shaping up to be a much harder project than I thought

If you use docker with portainer (for the GUI), you can set up the gluetun container with your protonvpn account and run all your other containers through that as their network. It's as simple as adding

network_mode: service:gluetun

to your stack configuration for each container.
