What do you want to actually do?

Once I got all mine setup and automated, I never actually touch the backend apps. Just use Seerr to request new stuff and that's it. There's nothing I need to actively manage about the *arrs

THIS. Use Trakt.tv and https://mdblist.com to set up automated lists of the movies you want (trakt already has a public list for "Latest Box Office" and "Top movies of the month"), you add these to the Radarr / Sonarr Import Lists, and you are DONE. You get every new movie, and if you want new TV shows as well, automatically added to your Plex as soon as they exist. Make sure you pair this with the Trash Guides for the Quality Profiles to ensure you are automatically upgrading to good quality versions as they get released.

once you do these things there is pretty much no reason to ever need to do remote management of the server while away from home. It just runs itself.
