Since I can’t get Flaresolverr or Byparr to work, I’m trying to install Bitmagnet, since I’m given to understand it can connect to Sonarr and make it work for protected indexers.
Has anyone gotten this to work? I keep getting a bunch of errors in the Bitmagnet log about it having trouble connecting to the Postgres container. It’s just this giant block over and over:

The IP addresses were changed from 192.168.55.x to 192.168.56.x to avoid conflicting with my qBittorrent’s Gluetun container. Here’s the version on GitHub, for reference.
