Now you have a website, why not offer it in a private alternative such as the Invisible Internet?
</p>
<h2>Setting up I2P</h2>
<p>
There are 2 main I2P implementations, I2P and i2pd, we are using i2pd in this
guide because it's easier to use in servers.
</p>
<h3>Installing I2P</h3>
<p>
i2pd is in most repos, in debian/ubuntu you can install it simply
with <pre><code>apt install i2pd</code></pre>
</p>
<h3>Enabling I2P</h3>
<p>
We are going to create a user for i2pd, because i2pd finds the configuration
files in its home directory. And it's easier (and more tidy) to have it in a separate user:
</p>
<pre><code>useradd -m i2p -s /bin/bash
su -l i2p
mkdir ~/.i2pd
cd ~/.i2pd</code></pre>
<p>
Now that you're in ~/.i2pd, you have to create a file named
"tunnels.conf". Which is the config file for every hidden service you're
offering over I2P, the content should be like this:
</p>
<pre><code>[<strong>example</strong>]
type = http
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080
keys = <strong>example.dat</strong></code></pre>
<h3>Getting your I2P Hostname</h3>
<p>
Then, run <code>/usr/sbin/i2pd --daemon</code> to start i2pd and we can retreive our I2P hostname.
</p>
<p>
This can be done in lynx or a command-line browser by going to <code>http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels</code> to get your I2P hostname.
</p>
<p>
You
can also run these commands to find your hostname:
</p>
<pre><code>printf "%s.b32.i2p\n" $(head -c 391 /home/i2p/.i2pd/<strong>example.dat</strong> |sha256sum|xxd -r -p | base32 |sed s/=//g | tr A-Z a-z)</code></pre>
<h2>Adding the Nginx Config</h2>
<p>
From here, the steps are almost identical to setting up a normal website configuration file.
Follow the steps as if you were making a new website on the webserver
<a href="nginx.html">tutorial</a> up until the server block of code. Instead, paste this:
</p>
<pre><code>server {
listen 127.0.0.1:8080 ;
root /var/www/<strong>example</strong> ;
index index.html ;
}</code></pre>
<aside>
<h4>Clarifications<h4>
<p>
Nginx will listen in port 8080, but i2pd will forward your port
8080 to the i2p site port 80. This way you don't have to deal with server names or anything like that
</p>
</aside>
<p>
From here we are almost done, all we have to do is enable the site and reload nginx which is also covered in <a href="nginx.html#enable">the webserver tutorial</a>.
</p>
<h3>Update regularly!</h3>
<p>Make sure to update I2P on a regular basis by running:</p>
<pre><code>apt update && apt install i2pd</code></pre>
