Jackett and Byparr in Docker

Jackett translates search queries from Radarr/Sonarr into queries against torrent tracker sites. Byparr handles Cloudflare challenges that would otherwise block Jackett.

jackett:
  image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jackett:latest
  container_name: jackett
  environment:
    PUID: 1000
    PGID: 1000
    TZ: Europe/Paris
  volumes:
    - /app-config/jackett:/config
  ports:
    - 9117:9117
  restart: unless-stopped

byparr:
  image: ghcr.io/thephaseless/byparr:latest
  container_name: byparr
  environment:
    LOG_LEVEL: info
    LOG_HTML: false
    CAPTCHA_SOLVER: none
    TZ: Europe/Paris
  ports:
    - 8191:8191
  restart: unless-stopped

• Jackett: http://homelab.internal:9117
• Byparr: http://homelab.internal:8191 (API only)

1. Radarr/Sonarr send a search query to Jackett via the Torznab API
2. Jackett queries the configured torrent trackers
3. If a tracker uses Cloudflare protection, Jackett routes the request through Byparr (FlareSolverr-compatible API on port 8191)
4. Byparr spins up a headless browser, solves the challenge, and returns the cookies to Jackett
5. Jackett returns the search results to Radarr/Sonarr

In Jackett's settings, set the FlareSolverr API URL to:

http://serverip:8191

This works because both containers are on the same Docker network.

Primary tracker is YGG Torrent -- configured as an indexer in Jackett. Byparr is needed because YGG uses Cloudflare protection.
