Setting Up Jackett

Setting Up Jackett on Nébulaura

Jackett provides API support for your favorite torrent trackers, enabling seamless integration with applications like Sonarr and Radarr.

Initial Setup

First, connect to your slot via SSH. If you need help connecting to the server, refer to the relevant help article.

To install Jackett, run the following command:

box install jackett

This command will configure Jackett for your user. After installation, the installer will display the port configured for Jackett. Be sure to note this port, as it is essential for connecting applications such as Sonarr and Radarr to the trackers set up in Jackett.

How to Access

After installation, access the Jackett web client at:

https://<hostname.io>/jackett

When prompted for an admin password, enter your slot password. This double authentication layer ensures that your configuration and tracker information remain secure, even though the Jackett port is externally exposed.

Service Management

As with all Nébulaura-configured applications, Jackett can be managed via SSH using the following commands:

  • Status: Check the current status of Jackett.
  • Start: Start the Jackett service.
  • Stop: Stop the Jackett service.
  • Restart: Restart the Jackett service.
  • Enable: Configure Jackett to start automatically at boot.
  • Disable: Prevent Jackett from starting at boot.

Example:

box start jackett

Configuration

Adding a Tracker

To add a new tracker to Jackett:

  1. Click the Add Indexer button at the top of the page.
  2. Follow the instructions provided to set up the specified tracker.

⚠️ Caution
Avoid modifying the following settings:

  • Admin Password (you can change it but do not remove it)
  • Base URL
  • Server Port
  • External Access (leave enabled)

Connecting to Other Clients

To connect Jackett with other trackers or applications, you need to use the configured port directly, bypassing the webserver. The webserver includes authentication headers not supported by other clients.

Constructing the Torznab Feed URL

If you have forgotten your port, locate it in your Jackett dashboard. Then, click Copy Torznab Feed. The generated link will resemble this:

https://<hostname.io>/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/

To use this URL, edit it as follows:

  1. Replace https with http.
  2. Add your port number. For example, if your port number is 12345, the edited URL would be:
http://<hostname.io>:12345/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/

Use this updated URL to connect Jackett with other clients.

Streamline Your Torrent Management

With Jackett, integrating torrent trackers with applications like Sonarr and Radarr becomes effortless. Enjoy seamless automation and enhanced convenience on your Nébulaura seedbox.
