Mirror your site over I2P

+ Now you have a website, why not offer it in a private alternative such as the Invisible Internet? +

+ +

Setting up I2P

+ There are 2 main I2P implementations, I2P and i2pd, we are using i2pd in this + guide because it's easier to use in servers. +

Installing I2P

+ +

+ i2pd is in most repos, in debian/ubuntu you can install it simply + with

# apt install i2pd


+			
+			
+			Enabling I2P
+			
+				We are going to create a user for i2pd, because i2pd finds the configuration
+				files in its home directory. And it's easier (and more tidy) to have it in a separate user:
+			
+			adduser
+i2p su i2p
+mkdir ~/.i2pd
+cd ~/.i2pd
+
+			
+				Now that you're in ~/.i2pd, you have to create a file named
+				"tunnels.conf". Which is the config file for every hidden service you're
+				offering over I2P, the content should be like this:
+			
+			[landchad]
+type = http
+host = 127.0.0.1
+port = 8080
+keys = landchat.dat
+			
+				Then, run i2pd --daemon to start i2pd. Then use lynx or any browser
+				to go to http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels to get your I2P hostname
+			
+
+			Adding the Nginx Config
+			
+				From here, the steps are almost identical to setting up a normal website configuration file.
+				Follow the steps as if you were making a new website on the webserver
+				tutorial up until the server block of code. Instead, paste this:
+			
+
+			server {
+listen 127.0.0.1:8080 ;
+root /var/www/landchad ;
+index index.html ;
+}
+
+			
+				Clarifications

+						
+							Nginx will listen in port 8080, but i2pd will forward your port
+							8080 to the i2p site port 80. This way you don't have to deal with server names or anything like that
+						
+			
+			
+				From here we are almost done, all we have to do is enable the site and reload nginx which is also covered in the webserver tutorial.
+			
+
+			Update regularly!
+
+			Make sure to update I2P on a regular basis by running:
+			apt update && apt install i2pd
