I made a webOS homebrew app (.ipk) that runs the official Jackett indexer manager on your LG TV. It's a small on-screen launcher plus a background service that downloads, runs, and supervises the real Jackett build. Once it's up, you manage everything from any device on your LAN at http://<tv-ip>:9117 — same Jackett web UI you already know.

Why? If your TV is already on 24/7, it's a low-power always-on box that can host Jackett for your *arr stack — no extra hardware, Pi, or NUC needed.

Features

• Works on both rooted (Homebrew Channel) and non-rooted (Developer Mode) TVs
• Tested from webOS 4.x through 9.x (4.10.0 and 9.2.2)
• Version selector — install any official Jackett release, upgrade or downgrade on the fly
• Boot autostart on rooted TVs (survives app updates via a persistent boot hook)
• One-tap Start / Stop / Restart / Update / Logs / Open Web UI
• Auto-detects arm/architecture and stores data on the install partition
• Downloaded archives are deleted right after extraction to save space (first launch pulls ~95 MB)

Install

• Homebrew Channel (recommended): add via the manifest / it'll be listed in the app catalog
• Or sideload the .ipk with webOS Dev Manager / ares-install

A couple of notes

• Jackett binds all interfaces, so set an admin password in Settings and keep it on a trusted LAN.
• Jackett is GPL-3.0 and fetched at runtime; the wrapper is MIT.
• Please follow your local laws and the webosbrew community guidelines when configuring indexers.

Built this myself and happy to answer questions or take feature requests. Feedback welcome!

Hey everyone,

I've put together a native webOS wrapper to run TorrServer directly on your LG TV. If you use apps like Lampa or just want to stream torrents directly on your TV without needing an external Android box or a PC running 24/7, this is for you!

What is it?
It’s a homebrew webOS app (.ipk) that comes with a simple launcher UI and a background service. It automatically downloads the official TorrServer build for your TV's architecture, runs it in the background, and supervises the process.

Key Features:

• Native LG TV Support: Runs directly on the TV in the background.
• Auto-Updater: The .ipk is tiny. When you hit "Start", it detects your TV's CPU architecture (arm, arm64, x86, etc.) and downloads the latest official TorrServer binary.
• Autostart: Can be configured to automatically start TorrServer when the TV boots up (enabled by default, toggleable in the app).
• Remote Management: You can manage TorrServer from your phone or PC at http://<tv-ip>:8090.
• App Integrations: Includes a quick shortcut to launch Lampa (if installed) and the TV's native MediaPlayer.
• Simple UI: Use your Magic Remote to easily Start, Stop, Restart, Update, or view Logs right from your TV screen.

Requirements:

• A rooted LG webOS TV.
• The Homebrew Channel installed.

Where to get it?
You can check out the source code, see screenshots, and find the installation/build instructions on the GitHub repository:

👉 GitHub Repo - torrserver-webos

Quick Usage:

1. Install the .ipk via the Homebrew Channel or CLI.
2. Launch the TorrServer app on your TV and press Start (it will download ~70 MB on the first launch).
3. Connect your favorite streaming app (like Lampa) to 127.0.0.1:8090 or access the Web UI from another device at http://<tv-ip>:8090.

Let me know if you run into any issues, have feature requests, or just want to share how it runs on your specific TV model. Feedback and contributions on GitHub are highly appreciated!

I wanted Prowlarr running 24/7 without leaving a PC on, so I built it as a homebrew app that runs **directly on the TV**. It downloads the official self-contained Prowlarr build, runs it in the background, and you manage it from any device at `http://<tv-ip>:9696`.

The tricky part: webOS ships a 32-bit ARM glibc userspace that the .NET build won't run on. The app fetches Alpine **musl** libraries on first launch and runs Prowlarr through an isolated `ld-musl` loader, so it stays fully self-contained and never touches the TV's system libs.

**Features**

- One-tap Start/Stop/Restart/Update from a TV-friendly UI

- Autostart on boot (toggle in-app, on by default)

- "Update available" indicator (checks GitHub) + native toast when it's running

- Live log viewer that locks to the latest line

- Official Prowlarr logo + icon

**Requires:** a rooted webOS TV with the Homebrew Channel. Install the `.ipk` via webOS Dev Manager, press Start (first launch downloads ~95 MB), then pair with Sonarr/Radarr as usual.

Feedback welcome — happy to test on other webOS versions. Coded by Tishko Rasoul.
