Stremio Jackett Add-on

General

This is a Stremio addon that requires Jackett to search for torrents, which can be installed and run locally. To add the addon to Stremio, use the provided URL, and it should provide you with search results. By default, this addon will only work when the Stremio web player uses HTTP. If you want to use it with an HTTPS Stremio web player, you'll also need to ensure that the service is running with HTTPS. Please note that teaching you how to achieve this is beyond the scope of this guide.

You can take a look at my other repo if you want to have stremio run in HTTP in docker stremio-docker .

Showcase

You can find the addon's manifest at Beamup-Club. Simply copy the link and paste it into your Stremio addons.

This addon is connected to specific Jackett servers with a limited number of indexers, so it may not produce many results in most cases. For better results, you can install the plugin locally and set up your own indexers in Jackett.

Run

Images are pushed to Docker Hub for each release automatically.

$ docker run -d \
  --name=jackett-stremio \
  -e JACKETT_HOSTS=http://{{ YOURIP }}:9117/ \ # Replace `{{ YOUR IP }}` with your LAN IP.
  -e JACKETT_APIKEYS={{ THE API KEY }} # Replace {{ THE API KEY }} with the key you got from the jacket server.
  -p 7000:7000/tcp \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  tsaridas/jackett-stremio:latest

One could also run it outside docker. You need nodejs installed.

$ export JACKETT_HOSTS={{ YOUR JACKETT IP:PORT }} # Replace `{{ YOUR JACKETT IP:PORT }}` with your ip and Jackett port.
$ export JACKETT_APIKEYS={{ YOUR JACKETT API KEY }} # Replace `{{ YOUR JACKETT API KEY }}` with your Jackett API key.
$ npm install
$ npm start

Options

The below options can be set as an evironment variable.

PORT	7000	8888	The port which the Addon service will run on.
MIN_SEED	5	10	The minimum amount of seeds we should return results for.
MAX_RESULTS	5	10	Maximum results to return.
MAX_SIZE	5GB	5GB	Maximum size of the results we want to receive. Value is in Bytes. Default is 10GB. Supported formats: B/KB/MB/GB/TB .

SEARCH_BY_TYPE	false	true	By enabling this, we search by movie or tvshow instead of default search by category (2000,5000).
INTERVAL	500	100	How often to check in miliseconds if we should return results based on user's timeout.
ADD_BEST_TRACKERS	false	true	We download a list of best trackers from Best Trackers and add them to all torrents found
ADD_RUSSIAN_TRACKERS	false	true	We add some Russian trackers. Check trackers.js for more info.

REMOVE_BLACKLIST_TRACKERS	false	true	Remove trackers that are blacklisted. Download list from : Blacklisted trackers
INDEXER_FILTERS	status:healthy,test:passed	all	This is the filter when we fetch indexers. This config is clear text, we encode it before using. Jackett Documentation
CACHE_INDEXERS_TIME	30	360	The time in minutes to cache indexers and don't call jackett to get all of them every time.
CACHE_RESULTS_TIME	180	360	The time in minutes to cache results in memory. Set to 0 to disable and always search in jackett.
TMDB_APIKEY	'sdfasdf23r'	``	TMDB API key.

Builds

Builds are configured to generate images for the following architectures:

• linux/arm/v6
• linux/amd64
• linux/arm64/v8
• linux/arm/v7

If you ever need additional build architectures, feel free to ask. However, it's unlikely that anyone will require these containers to be installed on anything other than these specified architectures.

Images

• latest -> Builds automatically when new version of server or WebPlayer is released. Builds WebPlayer only from release tags.
• release version (example v1.0.0) -> to have old releases available in case there is something wrong with new release.

Build your own

You can build your own image by running the below command.

docker build -t jackett-stremio:myversion .

Jackett

You need jackett installed for this addon to work. Going into detail on how to do that is out of the scope of this project.

Install Jackett

• Install Jackett on Windows
• Install Jackett on OSX
• Install Jackett on Linux
• Install Jackett using Docker

Setup Jackett

1. Open your web browser and navigate to http://{{ YOUR LAN IP }}:9117/. Replace {{ YOUR LAN IP }} with your local network IP address.

2. Click on "+ Add Indexer" to add as many indexers as you require.

3. Locate the "API Key" in the top-right corner of the Jackett menu. Copy the text from the input field.

4. Configure the indexers according to your preferences.

5. Once you have completed the above steps, update the ENV variables JACKETT_HOSTS and JACKETT_APIKEYS to match your container's host configuration.

Remember that the indexer's responsiveness can significantly impact the time it takes to retrieve results for users, so consider this when configuring your setup.

Add Jackett Add-on to Stremio

Add http://{{ YOUR IP }}:7000/manifest.json. Replace {{ YOUR IP }} with your LAN IP.

ToDo

• Reorg code to avoid iterating through the same data multiple times.
• Add your own trackers config.
• Resolve trackers and add cache for trackers ip addresses instead of sending FQDNs.
• Increase versions of npm modules.
• Update README for better understanding how to install.
