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?

Yeah, I'm not trying to avoid terminal completely, just for the day to day tasks I'm gonna use it for. But someone in another thread pointed out that most things, after they're set up have a front end GUI, like your portainer example. I can get comfortable with such a situation.

Like others have said, running a DE with remote capabilities will be a lot of overhead.

If you set up portainer and watchtower using ssh, you can pretty much just manage everything from portainer while watchtower makes sure that portainer and the rest of your containers stay updated. It's a very hands-off operation, especially if you set up auto updates on top of that for the pi OS. You'll probably just have to ssh in periodically to run a system upgrade and maybe restart to update the kernel.
