Connect Jackett
Add Jackett to Kochab with your API key and default port 9117.
Jackett is a torrent indexer proxy. Kochab uses its API for indexer visibility and health.
What Kochab exposes through Jackett
- Indexer list: configured indexers with health-oriented status
- Search: meta-search across configured Jackett indexers
- Torznab feed: copy an indexer’s Torznab feed URL for use elsewhere
Not exposed through Jackett
Jackett indexer configuration and CAPTCHA/FlareSolverr setup stay in Jackett’s web UI. Kochab does not push indexer-failing alerts for a Jackett-only stack today; add Prowlarr if you want push-based indexer health.
