What Jackett does
Jackett is an API bridge for PVR apps (Sonarr, Radarr) that queries multiple torrent trackers and returns standardized results. It supports hundreds of public and private trackers, handles authentication, and exposes Torznab endpoints so your apps need only one integration.
Install Flow
How to self-host Jackett
Jackett can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Jackett does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
