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?

Yes! I'm familiar with Marius for exactly this reason. Following his tutorials i feel like i understand what's going on until I run into a problem that's not addressed in the tutorial and then I'm stuck. I can't figure out a work around because I don't know what the error message is telling me. Then after googling it, I'm 15 browser tabs deep in stack exchange boards and I'm no closer to setting up the container.

I know what you're talking about, happens to us all when we're learning something new.

Want to share the details of a specific issue you're facing, blocking you?

What a generous offer! Can I take a rain check? I haven't worked on it in a while after giving up. I think I was trying to re-set up.... Tautulli? Yes, I had already set it up but it stopped working. Then I tried to set it up again and I forget what issue I ran into. Do you mind if I get back to you later? Could be this weekend, next week, or in a few months. Whenever the motivation and available time align.

Sure, anytime, create a new post, tag me if you need me specifically to have a look. I've used docker on synology for years, have gone through major updates and while I'm certainly no expert, I've learned some things which could be helpful.
