This is a little guide to show you how to setup a small container dedicated to an i2p router such as i2pd. This allows for a central router for all your clients on your LAN for example.

The release of qBittorrent v4.6.0 stable comes with I2P support. While experimental, we can still get a working torrent setup using qBittorrent now. qBittorrent-nox is the Web-UI only version, and currently it does not have configuration settings in the Web-UI for I2P settings. This guide will show you how to setup qBittorrent-nox and manually change the qBittorrent.conf file to allow for I2P torrenting!

Made a simple Hugo site to host a bunch of articles and posts related to I2P, all in one place. All posts have been translated to English. There are a lot of a good articles on the inner workings of I2P and can help understand I2P better.

About

I2PSnark is an I2P-only BitTorrent client built with Java. This allows you to spin up a docker container with a I2PSnark client which can be managed through the web-ui. This specific I2PSnark application is from the I2P+ team at https://i2pplus.github.io/ and http://skank.i2p using this package http://i2pplus.github.io/installers/I2P+_2.2.0+_i2psnark-standalone.zip.

Testing

Use this .torrent file to test if your I2PSnark client is working:

I have created a Dockerfile which will compile the latest version of qBittorrent which has experimental I2P support into a docker container with VNC support. The reason for this is my server is headless and I wanted to use the v4.6.x version of qBittorrent, but the qbittorrent-nox version of v4.6.x does not have I2P options yet. So I had to build the GUI version on top of a VNC image.

In doing so, this will build a container that has VNC capabilities where you can utilize a desktop environment to setup the GUI version of qBittorrent with your I2P settings, and then just use the web-ui from there on.

Why?

I am a qBittorrent user and wanted to start downloading and cross-seeding torrents with I2P, so I built this image as a drop in replacement of my linuxserver/qbittorrent docker container and it just works.

Why don't you post the docker image?

I am not sure how yet, and I also left it as a Dockerfile so that you can build this on ARM or x86-64 depending on your needs

Note

This image can be quite heavy and take a long time to build, but until v4.6.x is out of beta, this will do.

The Theseus DHT protocol lets you create distributed hash tables (DHTs) with unusually strong security properties. Can I2P learn anything from this, especially for filesharing applications?

Just a PSA that I2P exists if you want to try out anonymous torrenting. Head over to I2P for questions on how to set it up.

I won't answer questions that could get me into legal trouble, but I'd be happy to help with more generic I2P things.

With MuWire shutting down, are there any other good filesharing networks/options other than torrents through i2psnark and the postman tracker?
