Jackett

Description

Jackett translates queries from apps like Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr into tracker-specific HTTP queries, parses the results, and sends them back in a unified format. It acts as a proxy between your Arr apps and your torrent trackers.

Installation

Jackett is available as a one-click install from your Bytesized dashboard.

Getting Started

After installation, access Jackett through the link on your dashboard:

Click Add Indexer to add your torrent trackers
Log in to each tracker through Jackett
Copy the Jackett API key and Torznab feed URLs
Add these URLs as indexers in Sonarr, Radarr, or other apps

Tips and Tricks

Consider Prowlarr

Prowlarr is the modern replacement for Jackett with deeper Arr suite integration. If you are setting up a new system, consider using Prowlarr instead.

Manual Search

Jackett includes a built-in search interface for testing your indexers and manually searching for releases.
