Overview

Jackett is a free, open source indexer proxy that acts as a bridge between your media automation apps and the many torrent and usenet trackers they search. It translates a single incoming query into the site specific requests each tracker expects, then normalises every result back into one consistent Torznab and Newznab feed, so tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and any other Torznab or Newznab capable client only ever have to speak one protocol instead of maintaining bespoke support for each site. A clean web interface lets you add, configure and test trackers and manage the shared API key, while the feed endpoints let your other applications pull results automatically. It suits anyone running a self hosted media stack who wants one reliable, centrally managed gateway to their trackers.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers Jackett fully installed and secure by default: the application is bound to the local loopback interface behind an nginx reverse proxy, and that public entry point is only brought up after a unique administrator password is generated and stored as a salted hash on each instance's first boot, so there is never a window in which an unauthenticated instance is exposed and no two deployments share a credential. Automatic updates are disabled so the running system never drifts from the published image, systemd manages the service for automatic restarts and clean logging, and every deployment carries a paired deployment guide and 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Give Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr one Torznab and Newznab gateway to every tracker
  • Add, configure and test torrent and usenet trackers from one web interface
  • Serve a single normalised search feed and API to any compatible client
