How to remotely access a Raspberry Pi? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Tailscale for remote access
Portainer for GUI docker management
NGINX Proxy Manager running behind tailscale for accessing your services easier (can go into greater detail on this)
SSH for anything else

IMO, trying to avoid CLI in server administration is doing yourself a long term disservice. Its not that challenging and you'll learn a lot more about how everything works. Plus, you're pretty much not going to be able to avoid the terminal forever.

I would love a layman's guide to NGINX. every guide I come across is filled with unexplained jargon

Not sure if you getting mentioned in the post gives you a notification, but just wanted to drop the link here! Hope it helps, I tried to make the walkthrough pretty basic while still keeping it high level where it matters (like I assume anyone attempting this is familiar enough with selfhosting that they can install a docker container without me walking through the entire process)
