I2P website

To run locally (for testing purposes):

• Install proxychains, configure it for Tor

• Pull in the dependencies:

  $ proxychains ./setup_venv.sh
  

  (you can also pull them non-anon by leaving out proxychains)

• Compile translations (if you want to see them):

  $ ./compile-messages.sh
  

• Start the webserver:

  $ ./runserver.py
  

• Open the site at http://localhost:5000/

Running a mirror

If you want to mirror the I2P website, thanks! Here is a checklist:

• Do not edit any of the files in i2p2www/
  • In particular, do not change the CANONICAL_DOMAIN variable in i2p2www/__init__.py, it needs to point to the official site for SEO.
• If you need to edit variables in etc/update.vars, copy the file to etc/update.vars.custom and edit appropriately. The only variable you may need to edit is MTNURL in etc/update.vars (if your Monotone client tunnel is listening on a different port).
• If you want to enable caching, copy i2p2www/settings.py.sample to i2p2www/settings.py and edit appropriately.
• Add ./site-updater.sh to your crontab. This will keep the site updated, recompile the translations when necessary, and touch a file in /tmp/ (look in etc/update.vars for the filename, your webserver should restart WSGI when the timestamp of this file changes).

Configuration

Configuration files for the various scripts are in etc/. Environment variables in etc/translation.vars can be overridden by creating the file etc/translation.vars.custom and re-defining the environment variables there.

Pulling updated translations from Transifex:

1. Pull new and updated translations from Transifex:

   $ tx pull -a
   

2. Correctly format the translations: Do NOT forget this step!

   $ ./update-existing-po.sh
   

3. Check in the updated translations:

   $ mtn ci i2p2www/translations/ -m "Updated translations"
   

4. Check in any new translations: First, look to see which translations are supported in i2pwww/init.py. For any new translations that are NOT in init.py, either delete the po directory i2p2www/translations/xx (if it's not translated enough to add it to the website), or add the language to the table in init.py (if it's translated enough to add it to the website).

   $ mtn add -R i2p2www/translations/ && mtn ci i2p2www/translations/ -m "New translations"
   

Pushing updated translation source (.pot) files to Transifex:

1. Update the .pot files with any changes to the website text:

   $ ./extract-messages.sh
   

2. Check in any changes to the .pot files (optional):

   $ mtn ci pots/ -m "Updated translation strings"
   

3. Push pots file changes to Transifex:

   $ tx push -s
