# linuxserver/jackett

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.[Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett)

## Usage

```
docker create --name=jackett \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to blackhole>:/downloads \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 9117:9117 \
linuxserver/jackett
```

**Parameters**

* `-p 9117` - the port(s)
* `-v /config` - where Jackett should store its config file.
* `-v /downloads` - Path to torrent blackhole
* `-e PGID` for GroupID - see below for explanation
* `-e PUID` for UserID - see below for explanation
* `-e TZ` for timezone EG. Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do `docker exec -it jackett /bin/bash`.

### 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 <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
```

## Setting up the application

The web interface is at `<your-ip>:9117` , configure various trackers and connections to other apps there.
