This is a little guide to show you how to setup a small container dedicated to an i2p router such as i2pd. This allows for a central router for all your clients on your LAN for example.

How do I make my client (Firefox) use it?

Here is a relevant guide: https://geti2p.net/en/about/browser-config

For the IP address, just put in your container's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1

What about the Router console? Is this something that's only available with i2p, or does it also exist with i2pd?

[–] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is i2p-java and i2p+ only. i2pd is only the router which is why it is so small and fast.

Okay, so i2pd is the lightweight version and all the configs happens in the config file available.

Is there a way to test that i2pd is actually working?

[–] Strict3443@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Step 5 from the guide shows how to test if i2pd is running on your Alpine container. If you are using i2pd on another machine, similar commands will work as well.

For the Alpine Container:

  • Run ps command to see if the i2pd program is running
  • Run service i2pd status to see that status. Ex. * status: started
  • Find your container’s local IP address with ip -4 a and navigate to the i2pd web console at http://:7070

Thanks, I've done that and I can access the i2pd webconsole, but it doesn't seem to run correctly. I've had it run for over 20 hours now and it just says Network status: Unknown.

Can your container reach the internet? If you shell into your container can you ping anything outside your network?

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

No issues pinging outside my network.
