Docker

To make it easier to deploy reseeds, it is possible to run this software as a Docker image. Because the software requires access to a network database to host a reseed, you will need to mount the netDb as a volume inside your docker container to provide access to it, and you will need to run it as the same user and group inside the container as I2P.

When you run a reseed under Docker in this fashion, it will automatically generate a self-signed certificate for your reseed server in a Docker volume named reseed-keys. Back up this directory , if it is lost it is impossible to reproduce.

Additional flags can be passed to the application in the Docker container by appending them to the command. Please note that Docker is not currently compatible with .onion reseeds unless you pass the –network=host tag.

If I2P is running as your user, do this: 

    docker run -itd \
        --name reseed \
        --publish 443:8443 \
        --restart always \
        --volume $HOME/.i2p/netDb:$HOME/.i2p/netDb:z \
        --volume reseed-keys:/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/reseed \
        eyedeekay/reseed \
            --signer $YOUR_EMAIL_HERE

If I2P is running as another user, do this: 

    docker run -itd \
        --name reseed \
        --user $(I2P_UID) \
        --group-add $(I2P_GID) \
        --publish 443:8443 \
        --restart always \
        --volume /PATH/TO/USER/I2P/HERE/netDb:/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/netDb:z \
        --volume reseed-keys:/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/reseed \
        eyedeekay/reseed \
            --signer $YOUR_EMAIL_HERE

Debian/Ubuntu and Docker

In many cases I2P will be running as the Debian system user i2psvc . This is the case for all installs where Debian’s Advanced Packaging Tool(apt) was used to peform the task. If you used apt-get install this command will work for you. In that case, just copy-and-paste: 

    docker run -itd \
        --name reseed \
        --user $(id -u i2psvc) \
        --group-add $(id -g i2psvc) \
        --publish 443:8443 \
        --restart always \
        --volume /var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/netDb:/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/netDb:z \
        --volume reseed-keys:/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/reseed \
        eyedeekay/reseed \
            --signer $YOUR_EMAIL_HERE
