About

What Bitmagnet does

Bitmagnet is a self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, content classifier, and torrent search engine with a web UI. It crawls the DHT network to discover and index torrents, enabling powerful search and Servarr integration without relying on external trackers.

Install Flow

How to self-host Bitmagnet

Bitmagnet can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Bitmagnet does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Bitmagnet Docker, Bitmagnet Docker Compose, or self-host Bitmagnet, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Index and search torrents across the DHT network without relying on public torrent sites.

Integrate with Servarr apps (Radarr, Sonarr) as a custom indexer for automated media acquisition.

Ports

These are the standard container ports Yantr knows about for Bitmagnet. You can keep the default mapping, remap them, or publish extra ports later after deployment with Docker syntax such as 3000:3000 or 3000.

Notes

Things to know before you deploy

! Bitmagnet bundles its own PostgreSQL instance — no separate database setup is required.

! The Web UI runs on port 3333 but is not published to the host by default. Access it via a reverse proxy or change the port mapping in compose.yml.

! DHT crawling uses port 3334 (TCP + UDP). Ensure this port is open on your firewall for effective peer discovery.

! The default PostgreSQL password is `postgresx`. Change the `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` environment variable in compose.yml before deploying in a production environment.
