Jackett

Introduction

Jackett works as a proxy server that translates queries from applications (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, NZBHydra2, etc.) into tracker-site-specific HTTP queries, parses the HTML or JSON response, and sends results back to the requesting software.

What Jackett does:

Acts as a bridge between your apps and torrent trackers
Provides recent uploads (similar to RSS feeds)
Performs searches across multiple trackers
Returns results in a standardized format (Torznab/TorrentPotato)

Key Features:

Single repository of maintained indexer scraping and translation logic
Removes the burden of tracker integration from other applications
Supports public, semi-private and private trackers
Implements the Torznab and TorrentPotato APIs

Developer Information

This project is recruiting development help. If you can help out please contact us.

Configuration

Running Behind Reverse Proxy

When running Jackett behind a reverse proxy, ensure that the original hostname of the request is passed to Jackett. If HTTPS is used, also set the X-Forwarded-Proto header to "https".

Important: Adjust the "Base path override" in Jackett settings accordingly.

Apache Configuration Example

<Location /jackett>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
    ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9117
    ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9117
</Location>

Nginx Configuration Example

location /jackett {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9117;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
    proxy_redirect off;
}

Search Cache

Jackett has an internal cache to increase search speed and reduce the number of requests to torrent sites. The default values should be suitable for most users.

Configuration Options:

Cache TTL (seconds): Default is 2100 (35 minutes). This indicates how long results can remain in the cache.
Cache max results per indexer: Default is 1000. This limits how many results are kept in cache for each indexer to control RAM usage.

Note: If you make many requests and have sufficient memory, you can increase the maximum results. If you experience problems, you can reduce the TTL value or disable the cache. Be aware that making too many requests can result in being banned by tracker sites.

Torznab Cache

If you have enabled the Jackett internal cache but want to fetch fresh results for a specific query (ignoring the cache), add the &cache=false parameter to your Torznab query.

Example:

http://127.0.0.1:9117/api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab/api?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&t=search&q=query&cache=false

Configuring FlareSolverr

Some indexers are protected by Cloudflare or similar services, and Jackett cannot solve the challenges on its own. For these cases, FlareSolverr has been integrated into Jackett.

What is FlareSolverr: FlareSolverr is a proxy server that solves Cloudflare and other anti-bot challenges, then provides Jackett with the necessary cookies.

Setup Instructions:

Install FlareSolverr service following their installation instructions
Configure FlareSolverr in Jackett:
- Open Jackett settings
- Set FlareSolverr API URL (e.g., http://172.17.0.2:8191)
- It is recommended to keep the default value in FlareSolverr Max Timeout (ms)

Note: Setting up this service is optional. Most indexers do not require it.

Configuring OMDb

This feature is used as a fallback when using the aggregate indexer to get the movie or series title if only the IMDB ID is provided in the request.

Setup Instructions:

Request a free API key from OMDb
- Free tier allows 1,000 daily requests
Paste the API key in Jackett settings

`test:passed`	Last indexer test passed
`test:failed`	Last indexer test failed
`status:healthy`	Indexer successfully operated in recent minutes
`status:failing`	Indexer generated errors in recent calls
`status:unknown`	Indexer unused for a while

Supported Operators

Operator	Condition
`!<expr>`	NOT `<expr>`
`<expr1>+<expr2>`	`<expr1>` AND `<expr2>`
`<expr1>,<expr2>`	`<expr1>` OR `<expr2>`

Filter Examples

Example 1: Query indexers tagged with "group1" OR all non-private indexers with English language:

.../api/v2.0/indexers/tag:group1,!type:private+lang:en/results/torznab

Example 2: Query indexers that are not failing OR that passed their last test:

.../api/v2.0/indexers/!status:failing,test:passed/results/torznab

Aggregate Indexers

A special "all" indexer is available at:

http://127.0.0.1:9117/api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab

It will query all configured indexers and return combined results.

Important Considerations

When to use the "all" indexer:

Quick setup with fewer configuration steps
Testing multiple indexers at once

Limitations of the "all" indexer:

You lose control over indexer-specific settings (categories, search modes, etc.)
Mixing search modes (IMDB, query, etc.) might cause low-quality results
Indexer-specific categories (>= 100000) cannot be used
Slow indexers will slow down overall results
Total results are limited to 1000

Recommendation: If your client supports multiple feeds, add each indexer directly instead of using the "all" indexer for better control and performance.

Getting Indexer Information

To get all Jackett indexers including their capabilities:

.../api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab/api?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&t=indexers

To filter by configuration status:

.../api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab/api?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&t=indexers&configured=true
.../api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab/api?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&t=indexers&configured=false

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Cannot Connect to Jackett

Check if Jackett is running:

# Linux
systemctl status jackett.service

# Windows
- Check the system tray for Jackett icon
- Check Services (services.msc) for "Jackett" service

Try alternative URL:

Instead of http://127.0.0.1:9117, try http://localhost:9117

Check firewall:

Ensure port 9117 is not blocked by your firewall
On Linux: sudo ufw allow 9117
On Windows: Check Windows Defender Firewall settings

No Search Results

Test the indexer directly:

Go to Jackett dashboard
Click "Manual Search" on the indexer
Enter a test query
Check if results appear

Verify tracker status:

Check if the tracker website is accessible in your browser
Some trackers may be down or blocking your IP

Check indexer configuration:

For private trackers, ensure your credentials are correct
Try re-adding the indexer

Permission Denied Errors (Linux)

# Fix ownership of Jackett files
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/Jackett
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.config/Jackett

Service Won't Start (Linux)

# View recent error logs
journalctl -u jackett.service -n 50

# Reload systemd and restart
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart jackett.service

# Check for errors
systemctl status jackett.service

Cloudflare Protection

If an indexer shows "Cloudflare protected" errors:

Install and configure FlareSolverr (see Configuring FlareSolverr)
Make sure FlareSolverr is running and accessible
Test the indexer again

Updates Failing

Manual update:

Download the latest release for your platform
Stop Jackett service
Extract new files over existing installation
Start Jackett service

Disable automatic updates:

./jackett --NoUpdates
