I2P Reseed Server
Credits: work based on https://github.com/MDrollette/i2p-tools/. Please see the README there to understand the roots of this project.
Source Code: https://codeberg.org/diva.exchange/i2p-reseed
Changes & Important Notes
This version of the I2P Reseed Server does neither implement any (bandwidth) throttling nor any user agent checks. This makes the server slightly lighter (the dependency to "github.com/throttled/throttled" has been removed). In general, at diva.exchange, we would like to have a minimum of dependencies. But that's just our view.
As a consequence, the network infrastructure must protect this I2P Reseed Server from abuse (like DoS). A reverse proxy (like nginx), a load balancer and a suitable firewall infrastructure is therefore a necessity.
Target user group: advanced users.
Get Started
We recommended to run this I2P reseed server as a docker container. Pull it as:
docker pull divax/i2p-reseed
A persistent docker volume is recommended. This is needed to store the keys (private and public). Therefore:
docker volume create i2preseed
To start the container it is required to pass your signer ID to the container. This is done via an environment variable (-e).
Either the signer ID is already available within the persistent container volume, or it gets created.
docker run -e "SIGNER=abc@xyz.tld" -d -p 8443:8443 --mount type=volume,src=i2preseed,dst=/home/i2preseed/ --name i2preseed divax/i2p-reseed:latest
Building from Source
Fetch the source code from codeberg, https://codeberg.org/diva.exchange/i2p-reseed, using git or just download it. Example:
cd /tmp/ && git clone https://codeberg.org/diva.exchange/i2p-reseed
Building the Docker Image
Navigate to the i2p-reseed project folder (like cd /tmp/i2p-reseed)
Execute ./bin/build.sh. This will build ip-tools (Go program) within the Alpine Linux docker container.
Building the Go Program ip-tools on Your Host
Make sure you have "go" installed (like apt-get install go). Navigate to the project home (where you have downloaded the code of i2p-reseed from codeberg, like cd /tmp/i2p-reseed).
Set the GOPATH, which is the project root,
export GOPATH=${PWD}
then navigate to
cd ./src/i2p-tools
and execute
go install
and all done. The binary is now available as ./bin/i2p-tools.
