Steps

  1. Install the qBittorrent (org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent) app as a Flatpak.

  2. Install the Jackett service using a bash script.

    Create the installer bash script:

    nano ~/install_jackett.sh

    Content of the script, install_jackett.sh:

    #!/bin/bash

cd /opt \
&& f=Jackett.Binaries.LinuxAMDx64.tar.gz \
&& release=$(wget -q https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases/latest -O - | grep "title>Release" | cut -d " " -f 4) \
&& sudo wget -Nc https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases/download/$release/"$f" \
&& sudo tar -xzf "$f" \
&& sudo rm -f "$f" \
&& sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) Jackett* \
&& cd Jackett* \
&& sudo ./install_service_systemd.sh \
&& systemctl status jackett.service \
&& cd - \
&& echo -e "\nVisit http://127.0.0.1:9117"

  3. Run the installer:

    bash ~/install_jackett.sh

  4. Visit the local Jackett dashboard http://127.0.0.1:9117 and do some configurations:

    • Click Add Indexer.

    • In the Select an indexer to setup page, expand the Type dropdown, and select the Public option.

    • Select the checkboxes of all indexers or those that you wish to add.

    • Click the Add Selected button, and wait for it to finish adding all of your selected indexers.

    • Close the page if it does not close automatically.

    • Back at the dashboard homepage, in the Configured Indexers section, click the Test All button.

    • Click the Delete icon for each indexer that returns an error after the test.

    • Copy the API Key located at the top right of the dashboard.

  5. Install the Jackett plugin on qBittorrent:

    • Launch the qBittorrent app.

    • Click View in the app's menu bar, and check the Search Engine option.

    • In the newly added Search tab (next to Transfers), click the Search plugins... button at the bottom right.

    • Click Install a new one and select Web link.

    • In the URL text box, paste in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/master/nova3/engines/jackett.py to install the Jackett plugin.

    • Optionally, you can also add in links to other qBittorrent plugins.

    • Click OK.

  6. Configure the Jackett qBittorrent plugin by adding your API key (i.e. cg12d48faefqyaeafaefa3234214afgwrsthqep8fzp) to the ~/.var/app/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent/data/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/jackett.json file:

    {
    "api_key": "cg12d48faefqyaeafaefa3234214afgwrsthqep8fzp",
    "thread_count": 20,
    "tracker_first": false,
    "url": "http://127.0.0.1:9117"
}

  7. Search away for torrents in the Search section of qBittorrent.
