<h1>Welcome to your eepsite</h1>
|
|
<p>(<a href="index_de.html">Deutsch</a>)</p>
|
|
<p>This is your eepsite - simply edit the files under ./eepsite/docroot/
|
|
and they'll be reachable by others once you follow the instructions below.
|
|
In I2P, eepsites are addressed using a 'key', which is represented as a really long Base64 string.
|
|
(The 'key' is somewhat analogous to an IP address, and
|
|
is shown on the eepsite's I2PTunnel
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3">configuration page</a>).
|
|
The instructions below detail how to assign a name like "mysite.i2p" to your key and
|
|
start up your eepsite.</p>
|
|
<p>You can reach your eepsite locally through
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7658/">http://127.0.0.1:7658/</a>.
|

<h2>Step-by-step instructions for starting your new eepsite and announcing it to the I2P community</h2>
|
|
Your eepsite is stopped by default.
|
|
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.
|
|
You could just tell people that really long key, but thankfully i2p has an address book
|
|
and several easy ways to tell people about your eepsite. Here's detailed instructions.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Pick a name for your eepsite (<i>something</i>.i2p). Use all lower-case.
|
|
You may wish to check first in your own router's address book
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/addressbook.jsp?book=router&filter=none">here</a>,
|
|
or the file i2p/hosts.txt to see if your name is already taken.
|
|
Enter the new name for your eepsite on the
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3">eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page</a>
|
|
where it says "Website name". This will replace the default "mysite.i2p".
|
|
Also, check the "Auto Start" box. Your eepsite will now start every time you start your router.
|
|
Be sure and click "Save".
|
|
<li>Click the start button for your eepsite on the
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/index.jsp">main i2ptunnel configuration page</a>.
|
|
You should now see "eepsite" listed under "Local Destinations" on the left side of the
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/index.jsp">I2P Router Console</a>.
|
|
Your eepsite is now running.
|
|
<li>Highlight the entire "Local destination" key on the
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3">eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page</a>.
|
|
and copy it for
|
|
later pasting. Make sure you get the whole thing - it's over 500 characters and it must end in "AAAA".
|
|
<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>.
|
|
Click "Add" to add the destination to your address book.
|
|
<li>In your browser, enter in your eepsite name (<i>something</i>.i2p) and you should
|
|
be right back here. Hopefully it worked.
|
|
<li>Before you tell the world about your new eepsite, you should add some content.
|
|
Go to i2p/eepsite/docroot and copy this document (index.html) to help.html so you can refer to it later.
|
|
Now edit index.html and add content, pictures, and whatever you would like to share.
|
|
<li>Now it's time to add your eepsite to an I2P address book hosted by a site
|
|
such as <a href="http://stats.i2p/">stats.i2p</a>.
|
|
That is, you must enter
|
|
your eepsite name and key into a web interface on one or more of these sites.
|
|
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
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/edit.jsp?tunnel=3">eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page</a>.
|
|
Be sure you get the whole thing, ending with "AAAA".
|
|
Don't forget to click "add a key".
|
|
Check to see if it reports the key was added.
|
|
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>Speaking of address book updates, this would be a good time to add some more addressbooks
|
|
to your own subscription list. Go to your <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/susidns/subscriptions.jsp">subscriptions configuration page</a>
|
|
and add a couple of these -
|
|
<a href="http://tino.i2p/hosts.txt">http://tino.i2p/hosts.txt</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt">http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostetag">http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostetag</a>,
|
|
and hit "Save".
|
|
Now you will get updates too!
|
|
<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.
|
|
Test it yourself first by entering
|
|
http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?a=<i>something</i>.i2p or
|
|
or http://i2host.i2p/cgi-bin/i2hostjump?<i>something</i>.i2p
|
|
into your browser.
|
|
Once it's working, then you can tell others to use it.
|
|
<li>Some people check eepsite lists such as
|
|
<a href="http://inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php">inproxy.tino.i2p/status.php</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:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Post a message on the <a href="http://forum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=16">Eepsite announce forum</a>
|
|
on <a href="http://forum.i2p/">forum.i2p</a>.
|
|
<li>Tell people about it on the #i2p or #i2p-chat channels on IRC.
|
|
<li>Put it in a new post on <a href="http://syndie.i2p2.de/">the new Syndie</a>.
|
|
<li>Put it in <a href="http://ugha.i2p/EepsiteIndex">Ugha's Eepsite Index Wiki</a>
|
|
</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.
|
|
<li>If you have any questions try IRC #i2p or the
|
|
<a href="http://forum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=10">technical problems section</a> on
|
|
<a href="http://forum.i2p/">forum.i2p</a>.
|
|
Good luck and welcome to I2P!
