Running i2pd
Starting, stopping and reloading configuration
This chapter explains how to start and manage i2pd daemon under *nix operation systems.
After you have built i2pd from source, just run a binary:
./i2pd
To display all available options:
./i2pd --help
i2pd can be controlled with signals. Process ID by default is written to file ~/.i2pd/i2pd.pid or /var/run/i2pd/i2pd.pid.
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 10 minutes and stop. Send second INT signal to shutdown i2pd immediately.
- HUP - Reload configuration files.
systemd unit
Some Linux packages have a systemd control unit, so it is possible to manage i2pd with it.
Start/stop i2pd:
sudo systemctl start i2pd.service
sudo systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
Stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
Enable/disable i2pd to be started on bootup:
sudo systemctl enable i2pd.service
sudo systemctl disable i2pd.service
Recommended way to run i2pd built from source
This way all i2pd-related files will be 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
./i2pd --datadir .
