Jackett

Jackett is an indexer proxy that translates queries from applications into tracker-specific requests. It acts as a middleman between the app's Search feature and your configured indexers.

Installation

Docker (recommended)

services:
  jackett:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jackett:latest
    container_name: jackett
    environment:

    ports:
