Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions
Where do I need to deploy FlareSolverr relative to Jackett?
FlareSolverr and Jackett must be on the same network, which includes both running on the host network if you are using Docker. Keep them on the same device, because the cookies may rely on the IP address, screen resolution, and other identifiers.
Why might Jackett still fail to connect when its traffic is routed through a VPN?
The reported case reproduced the failure but no complete solution was found. It was likely a routing/troubleshooting issue where another Windows executable also needs to be included on the VPN, not just the Jackett process.
Which APIs does Jackett expose, and what tracker types does it support?
It implements the Torznab and TorrentPotato APIs and returns results in a standardized format. It supports public, semi-private, and private trackers.
Which media apps can I point at Jackett as their indexer or search provider?
Jackett translates queries from apps such as Sonarr, Radarr, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, and NZBHydra2 into tracker-specific queries and sends the parsed results back.
