Disentangling Tahoe LAFS over I2P

This presents pluginized versions of the Original Instructions for hosting Tahoe-LAFS nodes over I2P. Those instructions have been turned into shell scripts which automatically configure your Tahoe-LAFS node for I2P-only use.

These plugins are Unix-ONLY and depend on bash, python3, and virtualenv

An updated guide to Tahoe LAFS over I2P

In order to keep the Tahoe-LAFS network sustainable over I2P, I recommend that people who are using this guide host both an 1. "Introducer" and 2. either a "Client" or "Storage" node.

Plugin 1: Tahoe-LAFS Introducer Node

Introduce your Introducer!

New Tahoe-LAFS users need to be able to find an introducer in order to connect to the Tahoe-LAFS network. As of the writing of this article, there are only 2 active introducers.

Plugins 2 and 3: Tahoe-LAFS Client and Storage Nodes
