Does it have something to do with http/https?
dr|z3d
no
dr|z3d
either http or https should work just the same
chatsubo
My http one does not work but https does when i acccept the cert
dr|z3d
you're being auto-redirected.
dr|z3d
7657 -> 7667
chatsubo
I tried a few diff browsers but still getting broken thumbnails
dr|z3d
how did you install i2p+ ?
chatsubo
I did java --jar i2pinstall.exe
chatsubo
Its probably my end i must have done somehting
chatsubo
Let me run some tests and try to see if i canfix it
dr|z3d
easily fixed, one sec.
dr|z3d
grab that and extract to i2p/docs/themes/console/images/
chatsubo
will do now
dr|z3d
windows or linux?
chatsubo
nix
dr|z3d
ok.
chatsubo
It worked
chatsubo
what a legend
dr|z3d
for future reference, ~/i2p/eepget address.i2p/someresource.zip will also work.
dr|z3d
\o/
dr|z3d
run eepget without an address in the terminal for info.
chatsubo
Now one more question to access the console do i do 127.0.0.1:7667?
dr|z3d
7657 or 7667
chatsubo
The http does not redirect
dr|z3d
either will work fine.
dr|z3d
oh? you've got some browser extension blocking then probably. so use 7667.
chatsubo
Ok it works it does redirect
chatsubo
All good
dr|z3d
ah.
dr|z3d
ok, good.
chatsubo
I2p+ is looking good!
dr|z3d
glad you're liking it! look forward to the videos :)
dr|z3d
so the next thing to do is enable advanced console mode.
chatsubo
Very nice
dr|z3d
~/.i2p/router.config -> add the line: routerconsole.advanced=true ... and wait..
dr|z3d
you'll see an additional section in the sidepanel when it activates named Congestion.
chatsubo
Its weird i had a massive list of eepsites in my router now it seems smaller
chatsubo
Not sure why
chatsubo
In the sites of interest section
dr|z3d
they'll fill back up..
chatsubo
Oh i see
chatsubo
Just gotta wait
dr|z3d
oh, you probably just updated to normal i2p?
dr|z3d
or you downgraded to an older i2p+ version?
chatsubo
What do you mean?
chatsubo
I just installed the jar file
dr|z3d
from where? the link I pasted above or?
chatsubo
yeah the link you gave me
chatsubo
The dev build
dr|z3d
click on the sidebar icon again..
chatsubo
Maybe i should delete all the files and start again?
dr|z3d
no.
chatsubo
Maybe it got conflicted with an old install
dr|z3d
you've got homepage and sitemap toggle on the sidebar logo.
dr|z3d
try clicking it.. you're probably looking at /sitemap not /home
dr|z3d
the i2p+ logo.. toggles between those 2 pages.
dr|z3d
works?
chatsubo
I guess so but i swear the list of eepsites was bigger before
dr|z3d
screenshot and post on cake.i2p ?
dr|z3d
what version does it say in the sidebar?
chatsubo
i dont see the ars tech, benthamsgaze, duckduckgo, etc like i saw before
dr|z3d
go to /confighome and hit the reset button for links.
dr|z3d
"Restore defaults"
chatsubo
Ok will try
dr|z3d
haven't got a failing hard drive there by any chance?
chatsubo
Not sure? here is a cake link to what eepsites i can see on the routers home page. cake.i2p/view/eO75tiT16T_G5sfW6mGnJultGKC51zVu7xfTxFyfb_ND71HzBVau/2022-08-11-13-25.png
chatsubo
Its really not a big deal i guess at least i have the router up and running :)
dr|z3d
it would appear you somehow managed to install a different (older) version that the one I linked. what does it say in the sidebar?
dr|z3d
Under router info.. version..?
dr|z3d
1.8.0+ ?
chatsubo
1.8.0-0+
chatsubo
Very odd
chatsubo
I must have borked something
dr|z3d
easily fixed, in any event. /configupdate -> enable unsigned updates and change the url to the /dev/ url indicated in that section. then save.
dr|z3d
then hit the check for updates button.
dr|z3d
should tell you a new i2p+ version is available in the sidebar.. download it then restart router, you'll be back to dev build.
chatsubo
Ok will attempt now
chatsubo
To clarity what was the url again?
dr|z3d
if any update there doesn't indicate I2P+, you probably don't want it.. normal vanilla i2p updates will appear there from time to time, but I2P+ updates will indicate I2P+ in the sidebar explicitly.
dr|z3d
that was it.
dr|z3d
indicated on skank.i2p/
chatsubo
Good news @dr|z3d back in bussiness!
dr|z3d
\o/
chatsubo
Guess it downgraded its self
chatsubo
So can always install the non dev build and then make it dev build in the settings
chatsubo
By adding skank.i2p/dev/i2pupdate.zip
dr|z3d
if you want to stick to release versions mostly, just install updates near the time of release, and just after (I2P+ indicated unsigned updates)
dr|z3d
oh, sure.
dr|z3d
just configure your update url and enabled unsigned updates and you're good.
chatsubo
Is it genreally safe to do so?
chatsubo
In terms of Security
dr|z3d
pretty safe.
chatsubo
Good stuff
chatsubo
So the version im on is dev when do i update it?
chatsubo
When there is another release?
dr|z3d
whenever you feel like.. set the update check interval on /configupdate and decide when you want to update. definitely update when you see a news item indicating a new release.. might take 24 hours or so for an i2p+ build to come out to bring you to the next release version, which will be 1.9.0+
dr|z3d
some people like to update as soon as a new update is available, others once or twice during the dev period, others every week.. up to you.
dr|z3d
if your update policy is notify only, then you get to decide.
dr|z3d
*24 hours or so after a new release is announced via the news section on /home
dr|z3d
if it says release build in the sidebar, it's normal i2p, so you probably don't want that.
dr|z3d
i2p+ updates ALWAYS say I2P+
chatsubo
Next i have to get my eepsite over to jetty. thanks again for all your help @dr|z3d
chatsubo
Its much appreciated
dr|z3d
you're welcome, chatsubo
dr|z3d
just copy .dat file to ~/.i2p/
chatsubo
oh easy
chatsubo
And the html files
chatsubo
To the eepsite dir right?
dr|z3d
then, with the webserver tunnel stopped, set the keyname in the field. no need for a path, ~/.i2p/ is the root dir.
dr|z3d
html files go in ~/.i2p/eepsite/docroot/
chatsubo
Amazing!
chatsubo
Will get it all setup soon, gotta finish some work. yes im at work lol
dr|z3d
start the tunnel, the b32 should be the same as it was before.
chatsubo
Damn i2p+ is fast!
dr|z3d
how so?
dr|z3d
UI, or network, or a combination of the two? :)
dr|z3d
also, 127.0.0.1:7658 has some eepsite help, also on /help/ page.
chatsubo
If im going to open ports in my router, i dont want to enable upnp. What port will i need to allow or configure.
chatsubo
Or what setting network config do i need to adjust
HaruCode
chatsubo, did they say you about planet.i2p?
HaruCode
that's regarding RSS
HaruCode
*tell
chatsubo
Oh i did not know about this, thanks!!!
dr|z3d
chatsubo: the only port you need to forward is your external i2p port, both udp and tcp, ipv4 and ipv6 if enabled.
dr|z3d
it's listed on /info or /confignet
dr|z3d
and if you're in need of ideas for your next blog post, feel free to blog about i2p+ installation, performance and general first impressions, screenshots optional :)
