Is there a way to have Sonarr/Radarr download to Seedbox but monitor my local Plex server? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I use my seedbox to download and I synchronize it to my local Plex server via syncthing, however, I don't want to permanently store the data on the Plex server. I want to move it off once the download completes.

I have a similar setup as you so maybe I can help. BUT I don't get your question.

Anyway, my setup:

Use NZB360/Web-UI to manually search or *arr for monitored stuff
*arr pushes download to rutorrent/rtorrent via XML-RPC
seedbox downloads and makes a hardlink to a folder (/seedbox/files/resilio/). Since I tag my torrents, rtorrent also creates a subfolder in resilio called sonarr, radarr or lidarr.
resilio notices that and syncs with my home node.
Remote path mapping in the *arrs take care of the automatic import (there will be a few errors in the log until it's fully synced)
(For me it's an issue, maybe I set it up wrong) *arrs will import it by copying the file from /data/seedbox/<*arr> to the respective media library like movie, tv, anime, music, etc.
Seedbox continues to do it's thing.

Once in a while I have to manually clean the sync folder since I have a semi-broken setup.
