< p > This is your own anonymous I2P webserver ("eepsite") - simply edit the files under < code > ~/.i2p/eepsite/docroot/< / code > (Linux) or < code > %APPDATA%\I2P\eepsite\docroot\< / code > (Windows)
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
and they'll be reachable by others once you follow the instructions below.
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
In I2P, hidden services are addressed using a 'key', which is represented as a really long Base64 string.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
(The 'key' is somewhat analogous to an IP address, and
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
is shown on the hidden service
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3" > configuration page< / a > ).
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
The instructions below detail how to assign a name like "mysite.i2p" to your key and start up your website.< / p >
< p > You can reach your site locally via
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7658/" > http://127.0.0.1:7658/< / a > .
< / p >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< h2 > How to set up and announce your hidden service website< / h2 >
Your website is stopped by default.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
After you start it, it will be difficult for other people to find because it
doesn't have a name and they don't have your really long Base64 key.
2010-11-19 15:01:26 +00:00
You could just tell people that really long key, but thankfully I2P has an address book
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
and several easy ways to tell people about your website. Here's detailed instructions.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< ul >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > Pick a name for your website (< i > something< / i > .i2p). Use all lower-case.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
You may wish to check first in your own router's address book
2011-05-24 22:33:28 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/addressbook.jsp?book=router&filter=none" > here< / a > ,
2010-11-19 15:01:26 +00:00
or the file < code > i2p/hosts.txt< / code > to see if your name is already taken.
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
Enter the new name for your website on the
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3" > hidden service configuration page< / a >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
where it says "Website name". This will replace the default "mysite.i2p".
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
Also, check the "Auto Start" box. Your website will now start every time you start your router.
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
Be sure to click "Save".< / li >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > Click the start button for your website on the
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/index.jsp" > main i2ptunnel configuration page< / a > .
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
You should now see it listed under "Hidden Services and Clients" on the left side of the
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/index.jsp" > I2P Router Console< / a > .
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
Your website is now running.< / li >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< li > Highlight the entire "Local destination" key on the
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3" > hidden service configuration page< / a > .
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
and copy it for
2014-12-19 14:14:04 +00:00
later pasting. Make sure you get the whole thing - it's over 500 characters.< / li >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< li > Enter the name and paste in the destination key into your
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/addressbook.jsp?book=master" > master address book< / a > .
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
Click "Add" to add the destination to your address book.< / li >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > In your browser, enter in your website name (< i > something< / i > .i2p) and you should
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
be right back here. Hopefully it worked.< / li >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > Before you tell the world about your new website, you should add some content.
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
Go to < code > ~/.i2p/eepsite/docroot/< / code > (Linux) or < code > %APPDATA%\I2P\eepsite\docroot\< / code > (Windows) and replace the index.html redirect page with your own content. Virtual folders work, so you can host files from a sub directory without explicitly needing to provide a page with links to files. If you need a template for a basic site, feel free to borrow and adapt < a href = "pagetemplate.html" > this page< / a > and < a href = "lib/" > content< / a > !< / li >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< / ul >
< h2 > Register your own .I2P Domain< / h2 > < ul >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > Now it's time to add your website to an I2P address book hosted by a site
2013-10-29 00:05:06 +00:00
such as < a href = "http://stats.i2p/" > stats.i2p< / a > or < a href = "http://no.i2p/" > no.i2p< / a > .
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
That is, you must enter
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
your website name and key into a web interface on one or more of these sites.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
Here is < a href = "http://stats.i2p/i2p/addkey.html" > the key entry form at stats.i2p< / a > .
Again, your key is the entire "Local destination" key on the
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3" > hidden service configuration page< / a > .
2014-12-19 14:14:04 +00:00
Be sure you get the whole thing.
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
Don't forget to click "add a key".
Check to see if it reports the key was added.
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
Since many routers periodically get address book updates from these sites, within several hours others will be able to find your website by simply typing < i > something< / i > .i2p into their browser.< / li >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< / ul > < h2 > Adding Addressbook Subscriptions< / h2 > < ul >
< li > Speaking of address book updates, this would be a good time to add some more addressbooks
to your own < a href = "http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/subscriptions.jsp" > subscription list< / a > . Go to your subscriptions configuration page and add a couple of these for an automatically updated list of new hosts:< ul >
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
< li > < a href = "http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt" > http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt< / a > < / li >
2013-10-29 00:05:06 +00:00
< li > < a href = "http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostetag" > http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostetag< / a > < / li >
< li > < a href = "http://no.i2p/export/alive-hosts.txt" > http://no.i2p/export/alive-hosts.txt< / a > < / li > < / ul >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< li > If you are in a hurry and can't wait a few hours, you can tell people to use a "jump" address helper redirection service.
This will work within a few minutes of your entering the key to an address book on the same site.
2010-11-19 15:01:26 +00:00
Test it yourself first by entering< code >
http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?a=< i > something< / i > .i2p< / code >
or < code > http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostjump?< i > something< / i > .i2p< / code >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
into your browser.
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
Once it's working, then you can tell others to use it.< / li >
2015-01-06 14:10:25 +00:00
< li > Some people check website lists such as
2013-05-01 19:52:21 +00:00
< a href = "http://inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php" > inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php< / a > or < a href = "http://perv.i2p" > perv.i2p< / a > for new eepsites, so you may start getting a few visitors. But there are plenty of other ways to tell people. Here are a few ideas:
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< ul >
< li > Post a message on the < a href = "http://forum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=16" > Eepsite announce forum< / a >
2011-05-24 23:16:15 +00:00
on < a href = "http://forum.i2p/" > forum.i2p< / a > .< / li >
< li > Tell people about it on the #i2p or #i2p-chat channels on IRC.< / li >
< li > Put it in a new post on < a href = "http://syndie.i2p2.de/" > the new Syndie< / a > .< / li >
< li > Put it in < a href = "http://ugha.i2p/EepsiteIndex" > Ugha's Eepsite Index Wiki< / a > < / li >
2010-08-22 23:00:52 +00:00
< / ul >
Note that some sites recommend pasting in that really long destination key.
You can if you want - but
if you have successfully posted your key at an add-key service,
tested it using a jump service, and waited 24 hours for the
address book update to propagate to others, that shouldn't be necessary.< / ul >
