So, basically everything I put on i2p is a bunch of static files. Until now, I tried to host them using darkhttpd(a fork of lighttpd from Alpine which functions as a static Web Server) and by adding tunnel configuration information to tunnels.conf for i2pd. This is easier than manipulating a web interface, but still tedious and kind of error-prone. So instead, this serves simple static sites directly to i2p via the SAM API.

to build:

    git clone https://github.com/eyedeekay/eephttpd && cd eephttpd
    go get -u "github.com/eyedeekay/sam-forwarder"
    go get -u "github.com/eyedeekay/sam-forwarder/config"
    go build

to run:

    ./eephttpd

will serve the files from ./www, and store i2p keys in the working directory.

Docker

First, create a volume helper:

    docker run -i -t -d \
        --name eephttpd-volume \
        --volume eephttpd:/home/eephttpd/ \
        eyedeekay/eephttpd

Then, copy files you wish to serve into the volume folder:

    docker cp www/* eephttpd-volume:/home/eephttpd/www

Stop the volume helper:

    docker stop eephttpd-volume

and run the container:

    docker run -i -t -d \
        --env samhost=$(samhost) \
        --env samport=$(samport) \
        --env args=$(args) \
        --network-alias eephttpd \
        --hostname eephttpd \
        --name eephttpd \
        --restart always \
        --volumes-from eephttpd-volume \
        eyedeekay/eephttpd
