romancin/jackett repository overview

This container is based on the one of linuxserver (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/jackett/⁠), but changing the official jackett with the modded version of segator (https://github.com/segator/Jackett⁠). This modded jackett works perfectly with HDCity spanish tracker.

Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, etc) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic - removing the burden from other apps.

Usage: docker create
--name=jackett
-v :/config
-v :/downloads
-e PGID= -e PUID=
-e TZ=
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
-p 9117:9117
romancin/jackett

Parameters: The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080⁠ would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

-p 9117 - the port(s) -v /config - where Jackett should store its config file. -v /downloads - Path to torrent blackhole (Optional. You can add your torrent client hosted on another machine inside jackett) -v /etc/localtime for timesync - see Localtime for important information -e TZ for timezone information, Europe/London - see Localtime for important information -e RUN_OPTS - Optionally specify additional arguments to be passed. EG. --ProxyConnection=10.0.0.100:1234 -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation It is based on ubuntu xenial with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it jackett /bin/bash.

Localtime: It is important that you either set -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro or the TZ variable, mono will throw exceptions without one of them set.

User / Group Identifiers: Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

$ id uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application: The web interface is at :9117 , configure various trackers and connections to other apps there. More info at Jackett.

Disable autoupdates in the webui to prevent jackett crashing.
