I2P Reseed Server

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 i2p-tools (Go program) within the Alpine Linux docker container.

Building the Go Program i2p-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.
