i2pd configuration ================== Command line options -------------------- Options specified on the command line take precedence over those in the config file. If you are upgrading your very old router (< 2.3.0) see also [this](config_opts_after_2.3.0.md) page. * --help - Show builtin help message (default value of option will be shown in braces) * --conf= - Config file (default: ~/.i2pd/i2pd.conf or /var/lib/i2pd/i2pd.conf) This parameter will be silently ignored if the specified config file does not exist. * --tunconf= - Tunnels config file (default: ~/.i2pd/tunnels.conf or /var/lib/i2pd/tunnels.conf) * --pidfile= - Where to write pidfile (dont write by default) * --log= - Logs destination: stdout, file (stdout if not set, file - otherwise, for compatibility) * --logfile= - Path to logfile (default - autodetect) * --loglevel= - Log messages above this level (debug, info, warn, error) * --datadir= - Path to storage of i2pd data (RI, keys, peer profiles, ...) * --host= - Router external IP for incoming connections * --port= - Port to listen for incoming connections (default: auto) * --daemon - Router will go to background after start * --service - Router will use system folders like '/var/lib/i2pd' * --ipv6 - Enable communication through ipv6. false by default * --notransit - Router will not accept transit tunnels at startup. false by default * --floodfill - Router will be floodfill. false by default * --bandwidth= - Bandwidth limit: integer in KBps or letters: L (32), O (256), P (2048), X (>9000) * --family= - Name of a family, router belongs to Windows-specific options: * --svcctl= - Windows service management (--svcctl="install" or --svcctl="remove") * --insomnia - Prevent system from sleeping * --close= - Action on close: minimize, exit, ask All options below still possible in cmdline, but better write it in config file: * --http.address= - The address to listen on (HTTP server) * --http.port= - The port to listen on (HTTP server) * --http.auth - Enable basic HTTP auth for webconsole * --http.user= - Username for basic auth (default: i2pd) * --http.pass= - Password for basic auth (default: random, see logs) * --httpproxy.address= - The address to listen on (HTTP Proxy) * --httpproxy.port= - The port to listen on (HTTP Proxy) 4444 by default * --httpproxy.keys= - optional keys file for proxy local destination (both HTTP and SOCKS) * --httpproxy.enabled= - If HTTP proxy is enabled. true by default * --socksproxy.address= - The address to listen on (SOCKS Proxy) * --socksproxy.port= - The port to listen on (SOCKS Proxy). 4447 by default * --socksproxy.keys= - optional keys file for proxy local destination (both HTTP and SOCKS) * --socksproxy.enabled= - If SOCKS proxy is enabled. true by default * --socksproxy.outproxy= - Address of outproxy. requests outside i2p will go there * --socksproxy.outproxyport= - Outproxy remote port * --sam.address= - The address to listen on (SAM bridge) * --sam.port= - Port of SAM bridge. Usually 7656. SAM is off if not specified * --sam.enabled= - If SAM is enabled. false by default * --bob.address= - The address to listen on (BOB command channel) * --bob.port= - Port of BOB command channel. Usually 2827. BOB is off if not specified * --bob.enabled= - If BOB is enabled. false by default * --i2cp.address= - The address to listen on or an abstract address for Android LocalSocket * --i2cp.port= - Port of I2CP server. Usually 7654. Ignored for Andorid * --i2cp.enabled= - If I2CP is enabled. false by default. Other services don't require I2CP * --i2pcontrol.address= - The address to listen on (I2P control service) * --i2pcontrol.port= - Port of I2P control service. Usually 7650. I2PControl is off if not specified * --i2pcontrol.enabled= - If I2P control is enabled. false by default * --upnp.enabled= - Enable or disable UPnP, false by default for CLI and true for GUI (Windows, Android) * --precomputation.elgamal= - Use ElGamal precomputated tables. false for x64 and true for other platforms by default * --limits.transittunnels= - Override maximum number of transit tunnels. 2500 by default Config files ------------ INI-like, syntax is the following : = . Comments are "#", not ";" as you may expect. See [boost ticket](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/808) All command-line parameters are allowed as keys, but note for those which contains dot (.). For example: i2pd.conf: # comment log = true ipv6 = true # settings for specific module [httpproxy] port = 4444 # ^^ this will be --httproxy.port= in cmdline # another comment [sam] enabled = true See also commented config with examples of all options in ``docs/i2pd.conf``. tunnels.conf: # outgoing tunnel sample, to remote service # mandatory parameters: # * type -- always "client" # * port -- local port to listen to # * destination -- i2p hostname # optional parameters (may be omitted) # * keys -- our identity, if unset, will be generated on every startup, # if set and file missing, keys will be generated and placed to this file # * address -- local interface to bind # * signaturetype -- signature type for new destination. 0,1 or 7 [IRC] type = client address = 127.0.0.1 port = 6668 destination = irc.postman.i2p keys = irc-keys.dat # # incoming tunnel sample, for local service # mandatory parameters: # * type -- "server" or "http" # * host -- ip address of our service # * port -- port of our service # * keys -- file with LeaseSet of address in i2p # optional parameters (may be omitted) # * inport -- optional, i2p service port, if unset - the same as 'port' # * accesslist -- comma-separated list of i2p addresses, allowed to connect # every address is b32 without '.b32.i2p' part [LOCALSITE] type = http host = 127.0.0.1 port = 80 keys = site-keys.dat # [IRC-SERVER] type = server host = 127.0.0.1 port = 6667 keys = irc.dat Also see [this page](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/wiki/tunnels.cfg) for more tunnel examples.
