Jackett is a self-hosted media and streaming application that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.

Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 16.0K stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 12, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Jackett is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
