   1 # I2P Federation and Accessability
   2
   3 This guide is going to focus on the Akkoma federation aspect. The actual installation is neatly explained in the official documentation, and more likely to remain up-to-date.
   4 It might be added to this guide if there will be a need for that.
   5
   6 We're going to use I2PD for its lightweightness over the official client.
   7 Follow the documentation according to your distro: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/install/#installing
   8
   9 How to run it: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/run/

  11 ## I2P Federation
  12
  13 There are 2 ways to go about this.
  14 One using the config, and one using external software (fedproxy). The external software works better so far.
  15
  16 ### Using the Config
  17
  18 **Warning:** So far, everytime I followed this way of federating using I2P, the rest of my federation stopped working. I'm leaving this here in case it will help with making it work.
  19
  20 Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Akkoma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
  21 ```
  22 config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 4447}
  23 ```
  24 And then run the following:
  25 ```
  26 su akkoma
  27 MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
  28 MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
  29 exit
  30 ```
  31 You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
  32 ```
  33 systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
  34 systemctl start i2pd.service
  35 ```
  36 *Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
  37
  38 You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
  39
  40 ### Using Fedproxy
  41
  42 Fedproxy passes through clearnet requests direct to where they are going. It doesn't force anything over Tor.
  43
  44 To use [fedproxy](https://github.com/majestrate/fedproxy) you'll need to install Golang.
  45 ```
  46 apt install golang
  47 ```
  48 Use a different user than akkoma or root. Run the following to add the Gopath to your ~/.bashrc.
  49 ```
  50 echo "export GOPATH=/home/ren/.go" >> ~/.bashrc
  51 ```
  52 Restart that bash session (you can exit and log back in).
  53 Run the following to get fedproxy.
  54 ```
  55 go get -u github.com/majestrate/fedproxy$
  56 cp $(GOPATH)/bin/fedproxy /usr/local/bin/fedproxy
  57 ```
  58 And then the following to start it for I2P only.
  59 ```
  60 fedproxy 127.0.0.1:2000 127.0.0.1:4447
  61 ```
  62 If you want to also use it for Tor, add `127.0.0.1:9050` to that command.
  63 You'll also need to modify your Akkoma config.
  64
  65 Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Akkoma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
  66 ```
  67 config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 2000}
  68 ```
  69 And then run the following:
  70 ```
  71 su akkoma
  72 MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
  73 MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
  74 exit
  75 ```
  76 You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
  77
  78 ```
  79 systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
  80 systemctl start i2pd.service
  81 ```
  82 *Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
  83
  84 You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
  85
  86 ## I2P Instance Access
  87
  88 Make your instance accessible using I2P.
  89
  90 Add the following to your I2PD config `/etc/i2pd/tunnels.conf`:
  91 ```
  92 [akkoma]
  93 type = http
  94 host = 127.0.0.1
  95 port = 14447
  96 keys = akkoma.dat
  97 ```
  98 Restart I2PD:
  99 ```
 100 systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
 101 systemctl start i2pd.service
 102 ```
 103 *Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
 104
 105 Now you'll have to find your address.
 106 To do that you can download and use I2PD tools.[^1]
 107 Or you'll need to access your web-console on localhost:7070.
 108 If you don't have a GUI, you'll have to SSH tunnel into it like this:
 109 `ssh -L 7070:127.0.0.1:7070 user@ip -p port`.
 110 Now you can access it at localhost:7070.
 111 Go to I2P tunnels page. Look for Server tunnels and you will see an address that ends with `.b32.i2p` next to "akkoma".
 112 This is your site's address.
 113
 114 ### I2P-only Instance
 115
 116 If creating an I2P-only instance, open `config/prod.secret.exs` and under "config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint," edit "https" and "port: 443" to the following:
 117 ```
 118    url: [host: "i2paddress", scheme: "http", port: 80],
 119 ```
 120 In addition to that, replace the existing nginx config's contents with the example below.
 121
 122 ### Existing Instance (Clearnet Instance)
 123
 124 If not an I2P-only instance, add the nginx config below to your existing config at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/akkoma.nginx`.
 125
 126 And for both cases, disable CSP in Akkoma's config (STS is disabled by default) so you can define those yourself separately from the clearnet (if your instance is also on the clearnet).
 127 Copy the following into the `config/prod.secret.exs` in your Akkoma folder (/home/akkoma/akkoma/):
 128 ```
 129 config :pleroma, :http_security,
 130   enabled: false
 131 ```
 132
 133 Use this as the Nginx config:
 134 ```
 135 proxy_cache_path /tmp/akkoma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=akkoma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
 136 # The above already exists in a clearnet instance's config.
 137 # If not, add it.
 138
 139 server {
 140     listen 127.0.0.1:14447;
 141     server_name youri2paddress;
 142
 143     # Comment to enable logs
 144     access_log /dev/null;
 145     error_log /dev/null;

 148     gzip_proxied any;
 149     gzip_comp_level 6;
 150     gzip_buffers 16 8k;
 151     gzip_http_version 1.1;
 152     gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/activity+json application/atom+xml;
 153
 154     client_max_body_size 16m;
 155
 156     location / {
 157
 158         add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
 159         add_header X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies none;
 160         add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;
 161         add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
 162         add_header Referrer-Policy same-origin;
 163         add_header X-Download-Options noopen;
 164
 165         proxy_http_version 1.1;
 166         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
 167         proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
 168         proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
 169
 170         proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
 171
 172         client_max_body_size 16m;
 173     }
 174
 175     location /proxy {
 176         proxy_cache akkoma_media_cache;
 177         proxy_cache_lock on;
 178         proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
 179         proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
 180     }
 181 }
 182 ```
 183 reload Nginx:
 184 ```
 185 systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
 186 systemctl start i2pd.service
 187 ```
 188 *Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
 189
 190 You should now be able to both access your instance using I2P and federate with other I2P instances!
