Physical still has the downside of needing space. I have space for books, but not much else.
And nothing of value was lost.
This is an argument for preservation.
i.e. everything should be available via sailing the seas. If something isn't, and you know where to obtain it, do your part.
Many films and records have been lost because nobody cared to do it.
You'll need prowlarr for downloading. And a Bittorrent client that works with it (e.g. Ktorrent doesn't).
Then you'll set up radarr/sonarr, and ensure they can talk to prowlarr.
Setting up Plex is straightforward. But I think you do need to make it visible to radarr/sonarr.
It was definitely a pain, but once I had it set up it's been fine.
Sort of. You tell Plex where your directories are for movies and TV shows. All you have to do with Sonarr/Radarr is have them dump the finished downloads into their respective directories.

if you want to have an idea. I used a docker compose approach.
Should be self healing
I have ended up in the past being in a state of “don’t touch anything, it hasn’t broken in 6 months”. Then an update releases and I have to learn everything again. Beats paying 120 a month for whatever streaming services we would need.
I've given up my streaming box because I find passive watching so draining and trying to focus on educational content/ course and exercise.
I was finding myself wallowing away hours per day passively watching endless episodes of the current biggest show.
This wasn't something that I didn't want to learn myself, but I have so little time with children and gardening on top of my super busy work at this point that I didn't have time to simply google everything. I did know enough about it beforehand to provide a general idea of what I want, so YMMV.
