mildseven
just got a fresh install of i2p+
mildseven
how do i enable dev updates? i forgot :/
dr|z3d
mildseven: check /configupdate
dr|z3d
instructions are there.
mildseven
thanks!
dr|z3d
(at the bottom of that page)
dr|z3d
you're welcome!
mildseven
yep got it :)
dr|z3d
*thumbs up*
mildseven
it's saying no update available atm
dr|z3d
it will tell you that if it hasn't acquired the leaseset for skank
mildseven
ah ok
mildseven
skank.i2p wasn't in the router address book
dr|z3d
oh, then your fresh install isn't that fresh!
dr|z3d
you're probably using a config dir from a standard i2p install.
mildseven
yeah i am .. maybe i should fresh install..
mildseven
using the i2p+ installer
dr|z3d
which is fine if you need to retain previous settings and whatever, but for the best experience, a clean install is recommended.
dr|z3d
you can invoke a clean install by stopping i2p+, moving/renaming your existing .i2p dir and then starting again.
mildseven
ok cool
dr|z3d
(any time i2p/i2p+ can't find its config dir, it'll create a new one with the default settings for the installation)
mildseven
time to try it, brb
dr|z3d
good luck!
mildseven
that was quick and easy
mildseven
it's running 1.8.0-0+
dr|z3d
nice, mildseven
dr|z3d
check your addressbook, should have skank in there.
mildseven
yeah it is
dr|z3d
and it should have several subscriptions which will fill in the blanks.
dr|z3d
you'll need to open the new tcp/udp port if you haven't already. or remap to the previous port.
mildseven
oh thanks for reminding me
dr|z3d
and of course don't forget to configure your bandwidth!
mildseven
the vps is on a gigabit link but i have a 3TB data limit
mildseven
hopefully i wont hit the limit
dr|z3d
you can limit your bandwidth, or you can limit the number of participating tunnels. it'll take a few weeks for the router to really hit its stride, so I wouldn't worry just yet about limits.
mildseven
for now i've just limited to 10mbit
dr|z3d
so a couple of config tweaks.. firstly, you'll want to edit ~/.i2p/router.config and add the line: routerconsole.advanced=true
mildseven
ok
dr|z3d
when that's done, around 30 seconds later you should see a congestion section in the sidepanel.
mildseven
edit then restart the router?
dr|z3d
no restart needed for that.
mildseven
ah ok
dr|z3d
if you're not hugely fussed about the identity of the router, you can then enable SSU2 which is still in testing. you'll be about 1 of 20 or so routers with it enabled. entirely up to you.
mildseven
oh cool, i'd like that
dr|z3d
has the congestion section appeared?
mildseven
yep it's there
dr|z3d
ok, you can now edit router.config in the console on /configadvanced
dr|z3d
first line to add there is: routerconsole.showPeerTestAvg=true
dr|z3d
that will add an entry in the congestion section for peer test latency.
dr|z3d
to reduce the max time taken for a peer test before it's marked as slow, add the line: router.peerTestTimeout=500
dr|z3d
that's fairly conservative, and will ensure your local tunnels use low latency peers only. (the default is 1s or 1000).
dr|z3d
to enable ssu2, add the line: i2np.ssu2.enable=true
mildseven
what's next?
dr|z3d
that setting will require a restart to activate.
dr|z3d
if you've added the above configs, the next thing is to reboot to enable SSU2.
dr|z3d
restart the router, not reboot the VPS :)
dr|z3d
but before that, how much ram have you got on the VPS?
mildseven
2gb RAM
dr|z3d
you may or may not wish to increase the ram allocated to the JVM.
mildseven
hmm ok
dr|z3d
with 2GB ram, 768M is a fairly conservative max value. you'll need to edit ~/i2p/wrapper.config
dr|z3d
wrapper.java.maxmemory=768 for example in ~/i2p/wrapper.config
mildseven
yep found it
dr|z3d
the default value in i2p+ is now I think 512, so maybe you can leave it as that for now. up to you.
mildseven
i've set it to 768
dr|z3d
ok
mildseven
there's nothing much else running on the box
mildseven
just znc
mildseven
so 768 is fine
dr|z3d
any changes to wrapper.config need the router to be stopped and then started. a restart won't work.
mildseven
ok time to boot the router
dr|z3d
~/i2p/i2prouter stop
dr|z3d
and then ~/i2p/i2prouter start
mildseven
yep brb
dr|z3d
ok
mildseven
ok all appears to be running ok
dr|z3d
*thumbs up*
mildseven
SSU2 enabled also
dr|z3d
ok, given you now have SSU2 enabled, you'll want to stay on top of the dev updates.
mildseven
i have dev updates enabled
dr|z3d
ok, so you should be on -8+ real soon now :)
mildseven
still says no update available when i check manually
dr|z3d
it could also possibly be the fact the install date is later than the latest update, in which case you'll want to manually grab the i2ppdate.zip from the dev url and drop it in ~/i2p/
mildseven
ok
dr|z3d
(unsigned updates only have datestamps to go on)
dr|z3d
and if you manually update instead of in-console, the router won't know you updated so may report the same update again post-restart, so best to do updates in console where possible)
mildseven
thanks for the help dr|z3d
dr|z3d
anytime, mildseven. you're good now? on -8+?
mildseven
yep :)
dr|z3d
great1
dr|z3d
!
mildseven
oh Wired magazine has an i2p address now.. cool
mildseven
i used to buy that magazine all the time
dr|z3d
yeah, I noticed that on notbob and figured it's worth sticking on the homepage :)
mildseven
yes definitely
dr|z3d
in fact, I've noticed a bunch of sites on notbob lately that seem like good fits for /home
dr|z3d
how long they'll stay around is anyone's guess, but it's good to see some forward momentum.
mildseven
slashdot is good too
Ellenor

itsjustme
I for some reason thought your were a female Ellenor
Ellenor
and you wouldn't be wrong, in many ways
dr|z3d
nitter.skank.i2p is a thing...
dr|z3d
probably looks better than that instance, too. :)
Ellenor
just use any nitter you want, i mostly use it in clearnet so i link a random clearnet instance
Ellenor
itsjustme: you thought right, i'm just not the typical model of female i guess?
mildseven
Ellenor: so are you trans?
Ellenor
mildseven: of course. I make it work
mildseven
yay i guessed right
mildseven
do i win a prize?
Ellenor
mildseven: no you don't.
mildseven
:(
dr|z3d
yes, you win a prize. you get to wear a dress around the house for a day!
mildseven
yay
mildseven
should be fun
