Starting, stopping and reloading configuration
|

|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This chapter explains how to start and manage the i2pd daemon under \*nix operation systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have built i2pd from source, just run the binary:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./i2pd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To display all available options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./i2pd --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i2pd can be controlled with signals. The process ID by is written to the file `~/.i2pd/i2pd.pid` or
|
|
|
|
|
`/var/run/i2pd/i2pd.pid` by default. You can use `kill` utility to send signals like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
kill -INT $( cat /var/run/i2pd/i2pd.pid )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i2pd supports the following signals:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* INT - Graceful shutdown. i2pd will wait for up to 10 minutes and stop. Send a second INT signal to shutdown i2pd immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
* HUP - Reload configuration files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### systemd unit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some i2pd packages come with a systemd control unit, and for those that use systemd, it is possible to manage i2pd with it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start/stop i2pd:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl start i2pd.service
|
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable/disable autostart of i2pd upon bootup:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable i2pd.service
|
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl disable i2pd.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recommended way to run i2pd built from source
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following commands display the recommended way to build i2pd from source, without a package manager. Installing i2pd this
|
|
|
|
|
way will ensure all i2pd-related files are stored at `$HOME/dist`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir $HOME/dist
|
|
|
|
|
cp i2pd $HOME/dist
|
|
|
|
|
cp -R contrib/certificates $HOME/dist
|
|
|
|
|
cp contrib/i2pd.conf $HOME/dist
|
|
|
|
|
cd $HOME/dist
|
|
|
|
|
ulimit -n 4096 # only on Linux, increasing open file limit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, to run i2pd, simply travel to the installation directory and type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./i2pd --datadir .
|
|
|
|
|
|
