I2P
It is possible to easily and automatically configure a reseed server
with a self-signed certificate on any Debian-based operating system,
including Ubuntu and it’s downstreams. This is achieved using the
checkinstall
tool to set up the software dependencies and the operating system to
run the
I2P
service and the
reseed
service.
If you do not wish to build from source, you can use a binary package
from me. This package is built from this repo with the
make checkinstall
target and uploaded by me. I build it on an up-to-date Debian
sid
system
at tag time. It contains a static binary and files for configuring it as a
system service.
wget https://github.com/eyedeekay/reseed-tools/releases/download/v0.2.30/reseed-tools_0.2.30-1_amd64.deb
# Obtain the checksum from the release web page
echo "38941246e980dfc0456e066f514fc96a4ba25d25a7ef993abd75130770fa4d4d reseed-tools_0.2.30-1_amd64.deb" > SHA256SUMS
sha256sums -c SHA256SUMS
sudo apt-get install ./reseed-tools_0.2.30-1_amd64.deb
.deb
package from the source(Optional)
If your software is too old, it’s possible that the binary package I build will not work for you. It’s very easy to generate your own from the source code in this repository.
\ 1. Install the build dependencies
sudo apt-get install fakeroot checkinstall go git make
\ 2. Clone the source code
git clone https://i2pgit.org/idk/reseed-tools ~/go/src/i2pgit.org/idk/reseed-tools
\
3.
Generate the
.deb
package using the
make checkinstall
target
cd ~/go/src/i2pgit.org/idk/reseed-tools
make checkinstall
\
4.
Install the
.deb
package
sudo apt-get install ./reseed-tools_*.deb
\ 1. First, ensure that the I2P service is already running. The longer the better, if you have to re-start the service, or if the service has very few peers, allow it to run for 24 hours before advancing to step 2.
sudo systemctl start i2p
# or, if you use sysvinit
sudo service i2p start
\ 2. Once your I2P router is “Well-Integrated,” start the reseed service.
sudo systemctl start reseed
# or, if you use sysvinit
sudo service reseed start
Your reseed will auto-configure with a self-signed certificate on port
:8443
. The
certificates themselves are available in
/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/reseed
. When
you are ready, you should copy the
*.crt
files from that directory and share them
witth the I2P community on
zzz.i2p
. These will allow I2P users
to authenticate your reseed services and secure the I2P network.
