want to change the port number, edit the file ./eepsite/jetty.xml and
update the I2PTunnel configuration accordingly.
+
+ Step-by-step instructions for announcing your new eepsite to the I2P community
+ Your eepsite is up and running but it will be hard 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 peple about your eepsite. Here's detailed instructions.
+
+ - Pick a name for your eepsite (something.i2p). Use all lower-case.
+ You may wish to check first in your own router's address book
+ here,
+ or the file i2p/hosts.txt to see if your name is already taken.
+ Enter the new name for your eepsite on the eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page
+ here
+ where it says "Website name". This will replace the default "mysite.i2p".
+ Be sure and click "Save".
+
- Highlight the entire "Local destination" key on the
+ eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page.
+ and copy it for
+ later pasting. Make sure you get the whole thing - it's over 500 characters and it must end in "AAAA".
+
- Enter the name and paste in the destination key into your master address book
+ here.
+ Click "Add" to add the destination to your address book.
+
- In your browser, enter in your eepsite name (something.i2p) and you should
+ be right back here. Hopefully it worked.
+
- 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.
+
- Now it's time to add your eepsite to I2P's most popular address book.
+ To do that, you must to tell orion.i2p
+ what your eepsite name and key are. Orion has a web interface where you can add a key to the address book.
+ The key entry form is here.
+ Again, your key is the entire "Local destination" key on the
+ eepsite i2ptunnel configuration page.
+ 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 most routers periodically get address book updates from orion, within several hours others will be able to find your
+ website by simply typing something.i2p into their browser.
+
- If you are in a hurry and can't wait a few hours, you can tell people to use orion's "jump" address helper redirection service.
+ This will work within a few minutes of your entering the key to orion.i2p.
+ Test it yourself first by entering http://orion.i2p/jump/something.i2p into your browser.
+ Once it's working, then you can tell others to use it.
+
- Some people check orion.i2p/list/ 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:
+
+ 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 on the orion page here,
+ tested it using http://orion.i2p/jump/something.i2p, and waited 24 hours for orion's
+ address book to propagate to others, that shouldn't be necessary.
+
- If you have any questions try IRC #i2p or the
+ technical problems section on
+ forum.i2p.
+ Good luck and welcome to I2P!
