What is Jackett?

Jackett is an API proxy for torrent trackers and indexers. It translates searches from applications such as Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Prowlarr into the queries each tracker understands and returns the results as a Torznab or TorrentPotato feed. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Jackett, a self-managed alternative to Prowlarr or NZBHydra for feeding your media managers, with the code under the GPL-2.0 licence.

On xCloud it is the LinuxServer Jackett 0.24.2830 image, pinned by digest, with indexer definitions, credentials and the API key on the jackett_config volume. The dashboard has no usernames, so the template sets a generated admin password at install. Jackett bundles no indexer, download client or media app, search queries and your server's IP address reach every indexer you add, and you should add only sources you are allowed to use.

From Sign-Up to a Live Jackett In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Jackett setup normally means the app container, an admin password you must remember to set, a config volume, a domain and a certificate before the first indexer. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Jackett from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and server, accept the generated admin password or set your own, and pick a timezone.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the LinuxServer Jackett 0.24.2830 image, pinned by digest, apply the admin password through Jackett's own endpoint after install, mount jackett_config and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Add An Indexer And Connect An App
Sign in with the password, add a public indexer or a tracker you have the legal right to use, then paste its Torznab feed URL and the API key into Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr as a custom indexer.

Everything Jackett Does, On Your Own Server

Jackett 0.24.2830 runs here as an indexer proxy, with its settings on a volume you own.

One Torznab Feed
Jackett translates searches from your media managers into the query each tracker understands and returns one Torznab or TorrentPotato feed.
An Aggregate Indexer
Use the aggregate indexer to search across every tracker you have configured with a single feed.
A Dashboard Password
The dashboard has no usernames, only the generated admin password applied at install. Change it inside Jackett.
An API Key For Clients
Torznab clients use the API key, which grants feed access without the admin password. Keep it private and regenerate it if it leaks.
Settings On One Volume
Indexer credentials, cookies, the API key and the keys that decrypt them live on jackett_config.
Nothing Else Bundled
No indexer, download client or media application is included. You choose and connect them yourself.

Jackett vs Alternatives

Prowlarr: Jackett can sit behind Prowlarr as well: add a Jackett Torznab feed there as a custom indexer with the API key. Prowlarr is available as its own OneClick app.
NZBHydra: Jackett proxies torrent trackers and indexers into Torznab and TorrentPotato feeds, and its upstream README lists NZBHydra2 among the apps that can query it.
Sonarr: Point Sonarr at a Jackett Torznab feed as a custom indexer with the API key. Sonarr is available as its own OneClick app.
Radarr: Point Radarr at a Jackett Torznab feed as a custom indexer with the API key. Radarr is available as its own OneClick app.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can I run Jackett in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Jackett Docker hosting without the setup: the LinuxServer Jackett 0.24.2830 image pinned by digest, with a config volume, a generated admin password and HTTPS on your own domain. The upstream self-update is left off.

How much RAM does Jackett need?

The template minimum is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk. Memory grows with the number of configured indexers and the result cache. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung.

How do I sign in to Jackett after installing?

Open your URL and enter the generated admin password from the credentials; Jackett has no usernames. Then copy the API key from the top right of the dashboard. The password is applied once, right after install.

How do I connect Sonarr or Radarr to Jackett?

Add a custom Torznab indexer in the app. Paste the indexer's Copy Torznab Feed URL as the URL and the API key as the key. You can also use the aggregate indexer that covers every configured tracker.

Is the Jackett API key secret?

Yes. The API key alone grants access to the Torznab feeds without the admin password, so keep it private. If it leaks, regenerate it from the dashboard and update every app that uses it, since the old key stops working.

Does Jackett send my searches to trackers?

Yes. Search queries and your server's IP address are sent to every indexer you add. Add only public indexers or trackers you have the legal right to use, and be aware of what each one logs.

Is Jackett free?

Yes. Jackett is released under the GPL-2.0 licence, so the software has no licence fee. Only the dedicated Cloud VPS running the proxy is billed, which makes it a Jackett cloud of your own. The indexers you add may have their own rules or fees, which are separate from this install.

How do I back up Jackett?

Back up the whole jackett_config volume while the container is stopped. It holds the API key, the admin password hash, each indexer's saved credentials and cookies, and the keys that decrypt them. Nothing schedules this, so run it yourself.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Jackett?

Your Jackett stays on its pinned 0.24.2830 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up jackett_config first, then check the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades itself, the built-in self-update is off, and a redeploy keeps the volume.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
