I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I'm hopeful that there's an easier way. I'm imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

Lots of suggestions for Arr. I also have a Mac and use Plex. I explored setting up the Arr suite but promptly got lost in the weeds. Is there a guide that doesn’t include “install this executable from an untrusted source” to set this up? There are Arr docker setup files available but I have no idea who made them and if they are trustworthy, I’d rather go to the source than third party.

the first dockerfile linked on the official site is pretty simple. read it to make sure it's safe, then build it locally yourself.

Who’s official site, docker? I legit have no idea where to start

https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

sorry no, the servarr site. look at this section for docker info. I think the links from there should have most of the background info

the docker builds it uses are unofficial technically, but the source is here, you can see that the only thing it does is download the official build
