PR Welcome!
|
Quite interested. Whom do I contact? |
|
definitely interested in helping out in Javascript/React/C#, Web scraping, UI/UX jackett has helped me out so much - this is certainly the least i could do |
|
Thanks for your interest! There are 3 main ways C# devs can help. First, is fixing any tracker bugs that are C# only. You can find these under the Second thing we need help with is updating all the tracker code so that we can better see what features are being used and find other improvements for the project. To help with this, you can go through any trackers you have an account with (all C# indexers are in this folder: https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/tree/master/src/Jackett.Common/Indexers) and clean up their code. This includes things like bringing the older code in line with our new-ish style guidelines, updating the category lists, adding IMDB support if it's not already there (#4859), testing that the results show up correctly, including dead torrents, etc. Resources to help you get started:
And the third way is by helping us improve code coverage by writing unit tests for core components. This is done using the NUnit3 library, and we'd like you to start with covering the classes in https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/tree/master/src/Jackett.Common/Utils If you have any questions, the best way to contact me right now is to tag me in an Issue or a PR, as I basically live on GitHub with the lockdown. For those who want to help with the WebUI, I'll defer to @ngosang on contact and coordination. |
|
Thank you, @cadatoiva! I'll just add that open issues which require Web UI/UX design & development are under the However, as @cadatoiva mentioned in his OP, we are looking to do a complete overhaul of the Web UI, so coordinating with @ngosang first is key. Also, a wide variety of open issues is under the Thank you once again for taking the initiative to help out @thastoned @integrated-differentiation @chronicrebellion |

You can also message me on discord. The Jackett discord is https://discord.gg/NSH5kRK and you can find me on there under the same username. |

Hello, |
Thank you. If you see an open issue related to a tracker of which you are a member, you can help by checking to see if you're facing the same problem, or test the changes to see if they work.
For this you'd need to open a new issue and detail what the exact problem is. Make sure you provide the requested details. |
|
For those interested in the WebUI. The current UI is written in JS / HTML / CSS and it does the job. The problem is that the code is very difficult to maintain for several reasons: The HTML code is mixed with the JS code in the same file. Old technologies like jQuery and Bootstrap 3 are used. It does not have a dependency control system. And it has no tests. Instead of fixing the open bugs I have decided to make a new UI from scratch. I am using modern architecture, language and frameworks. NPM + Typescript + React + Redux + Ant design. It's really similar to the stack used by Sonarr v3 and Radarr. At the moment I am trying to organize the code well to serve as reference and implementing the current functionality of the Jackett UI. What is done so far:
As for now I am alone I have not thought much about the organization and the roadmap, but it could be something like this:
I need time to release the initial version (a week or two). If someone is interested I can open a PR with the code in the current state in case you want to take a look. After it is released I will open an issue with a TODOs list for anyone who wants to collaborate and for keeping the current state. We will also need help with UX / UI. The truth is that we already have a logo and I am using a very nice design library that already includes a lot of components and a dark theme https://ant.design/components/button/. The help is more oriented to the usability and ordering of the components of the layout so that it is pleasant to use Jackett. I am concerned about the long term. I will not disappear from one day to the next, but honestly I am in many projects and I don't know how much time I will be able to dedicate to Jackett in the future, after this is complete. Jackett has been without a front developer for years and I don't want that to happen again. So I ask for commitment.

I was informed by a site, they will not co-operate with development of Jackett App and will ban members for testing the app on their site. |
@IzzyDunyet Jackett has actually been around for 5 years, it's not new. Many of us have been using it for years, and not once have I heard of anyone having issues because they used Jackett to search, download torrent files, or integrate with other apps. It already works with 400+ trackers, and accessing a tracker with Jackett is the same as accessing it via a web browser, There is no added burden or load on the servers in any way, This post simply aims to find volunteers willing to make Jackett's codebase more efficient, and the user interface more advanced. That's it. |
|
@IzzyDunyet curious. Did they say why? And do you mind sharing which site it was? |
|
@thastoned @integrated-differentiation @chronicrebellion I hope you guys have had the chance to go over @cadatoiva's remarks about the required backend development #8180 (comment), as well as @ngosang's comments on the Web UI work that needs to be done #8180 (comment) If you are able/willing to contribute in any way, please let us know. Thank you very much. |
|
Hey, I got experience in C#, Java and SQL among other stuff. I am willing to learn more if needed. Let me know how I can be of help. |
|
@datsunedd Thank you! A good start would be to go over this ticket first, It'll give you an overview of where to start and how you can contribute given your skill set, |
|
@datsunedd The best way to start is fixing one of the open issues. You can filter by label. A good start point is reading this #8180 (comment) , installing a C# IDE (Visual Studio or Rider) and try to add a new tracker you are interested in. |
|
I don't remember what site it was. But it struck me they are cautious of App's that share passkeys, ghostleech or can be used by the pirate hunters to catch torrent sites. |
|
I'm no coder, but I have few regs in private trackers. If anyone needs any testing, I can help. |
|
@scotrod thanks for your interest in helping. Check our open issues for any private trackers you have an account with and leave a comment there letting us know you can test any fixes for that ticket. |
|
I'm trying to create a pull request but getting permission denied. What's the process for submitting one? |

Thanks for the clarification @garfield69 and @ilike2burnthing. Indeed we hope to continue to work together and thank you guys for the contribution and comments on Prowlarr issues. Without the work of Jackett indeed there is no Prowlarr... Thus it's much appreciated. We'd love to entertain further discussion via discord (or another chat platform) when you guys see fit. Feel free to mark this as off-topic :D |

i have 5 years about net core (c#) with azure pipelines, and some proyects with react. |

TO ALL POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTORS Our contributing guide has been updated to work with Visual Studio 2022, as we updated to .NET 6.0 two months ago. It has also been reworked to hopefully be easier for those less familiar with VS to get started. https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-environment All contributions are welcomed, If you need any further help feel free to ask. |

Hi. I don't have experience in any of the technologies listed above, but I do have experience in python, macOS/Linux sysadmin and also writing documentation. If any of these can be useful, I'm happy to donate some time. |
|
None of the current maintainers are overly familiar with MacOS, just a few contributors who we occasionally ask for help. There are some older open MacOS issues if you want to cast your eye over them - OS MacOS Our wiki is open to community edit, so feel free to make any changes you think would be needed there - https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/wiki You can submit PRs for edits to our README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md. |

Hello, I have a small community for Jackett over on reddit. reddit.com/r/jackett. Some members have asked how to donate to the project. Is there a way to give jackett a github sponsorship or something? Thanks all. Also if any of the team want to come over just PM me so I can give you mod privileges. Moderation is pretty annoying as tons of spam bots come in and post ads for jackets and other apparel -_- |
P.S. I don't know how github sponsorships work at all. I'm from the crypto world so something like this would fit easily into a DAO structure, where funds are stored in a multisig safe and can be distributed with something like n/(n+1) signatures. On chain governance is also a nice feature. |
|
Thanks for the offer, but we don't have any costs beyond our own time and effort, so we don't take donations. |
Roger that! |
|
I deal with Azure pipelines for my day job - what kind of help do you need on that front still, if any? |
|
Feel free to take a look at our setup, see if there any improvements which could be made - https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/blob/master/azure-pipelines.yml Previously, we had a lot of failed runs due to our musl builds causing collisions (the last ~10 commits from ngosang were all attempts to fix it). The solution was ultimately retrying on failure, which is working for us, but obviously preventing the collisions in the first place would be preferable. |
|
Excited to pitch in with you! Just give me a heads-up on where to get started. |
|
I can arrange private tracker access testing. Lmk |
|
Do you have accounts for any trackers that are marked as |
|
Damn... sorry, no.
