Adding an Indexer with Jackett

Lidarr supports only a limited number of trackers by default. To expand indexers, use Jackett:

1. Obtain the Torznab feed link from Jackett. By default, it looks like this:

   https://app02.hostingby.design/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/
   

   
   Modify it as follows:
   • Replace https with http.
   • Add the port number from your Jackett configuration. For example:

   http://app02.hostingby.design:12345/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/
   

2. Go to Settings > Indexers and click + to add a new indexer.
3. Under Torrent, choose Torznab.
4. Enter the following:
   • Name: <tracker name>
   • URL: <modified Torznab feed URL>
   • API: <API key from Jackett>
5. Click Test. If successful, click Save.

Additional Configuration

You can further customize your setup by:

• Setting Quality Profiles.
• Configuring Post-Processing to automatically transfer completed downloads to your Lidarr library.
