CONTINUING WORK ON THIS - READY TO TRY! HOPEFULLY CAN LOWER BARRIER FOR SOME FIRST TRYING I2P
THE MORE I2P USERS, THE STRONGER / MORE RESILIENT THE NETWORK (AGAIN DDOS)
I2P under DDoS attack: help by sharing this / other solutions, run as often / long as possible, on as many machines as possible.
Together, we can empower each other: by strengthening networks. The most important time to contribute bandwidth to the network, for future viability.
HUMAN RIGHTS IN MIND: NO RIGHTS CAN BE GUARUNTEED WITHOUT PRIVACY.
TIP: useful I2P (eepsites) in browser toolbar / bookmarks upon opening (check them out!).
TIP: ideal to leave this running as long / often as possible (as is always the case with I2P). Since it is a peer to peer network, some time is needed to initialize / build tunnels. Give it a few minutes to build connections before browsing, for best experience, and reliability (for you / network).
(f your computer is on, why not leave it open to help the network? We all benefit, it's nice to contribute where we can.)
TIP: this setup will stop i2prouter for you automatically on browser close.
Install Librewolf / Your Choice Of I2P (i2p+ / i2p / i2pd: choose one you like, i2p+ is nice choice for 1st timers)
Edit start-i2p for the i2prouter commands: make sure it matches (your i2p router command for start / stop), and then:
NEXT RUN:
bash install.sh
That should be it (first: install Librewolf / your choice of i2prouterfirst: i2p / i2p+ / i2pd)
You should be able to tap / click I2P Browser on your desktop or phone / tablet interface
PROBLEMS / ISSUES
REPORT ISSUES TO GITEA ONION: http://gg6zxtreajiijztyy5g6bt5o6l3qu32nrg7eulyemlhxwwl6enk6ghad.onion/RightToPrivacy/I2P-desktop

righttoprivacy@mail.i2p (I2P mail) righttoprivacy@i2pmail.org
Running install.sh creates the I2P custom profile, moves files where they belong, and leaves you with a button on Linux phones / Desktop shortcut for Linux comptuers.
Should work on all Linux devices. Report if not.
When you tap the I2P browser button on desktop / Linux phone, i2prouter starts for you (in background), browser opens to i2prouter homepage, and i2prouter is stopped upon closing the browser.
Should work on any Linux device (including Linux Phones like Pinephone / Librem5)
Inside start-i2p, edit the $i2prouterstart / $i2prouterstop if using another version of i2p, or have installed in another location than /home/$USER/i2p/i2prouter
start-i2p calls librewolf, but can be edited for firefox commands / profile location, if you like.
NOTE: in start-i2p - default $i2prouterstart / $i2prouterstop var set to i2prouter commands installed at /home/$USER/i2p/i2prouter
if you use another version of i2p, you can adapt by editing $i2prouterstart / $i2prouterstop variable values to meet those commands
AUTOMATED INSTALLER (install.sh) READY TO TRY!
IF YOU NOTICE AN ISSUE PLEASE FILE OR EMAIL righttoprivacy[at]i2pmail.org
INSTALLER USAGE
bash install.sh
The above will move everything where it needs to go for both Linux computers / phones (shortcut / button)
If install.sh does not produce the working shortcut for your unique setup, follow steps below.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW STEPS BELOW IF YOU USE INSTALLER (SEE ABOVE)
Copy "o113n4wr.I2P Browsing" pre-setup Librewolf profile to /home/$USER/.librewolf (folder + contents)
NEXT: go to about:profiles and create new profile. Select the folder "o113n4wr.I2P Browsing" as location and name profile "I2P Browsing".
INFO: javascript disabled by default in profile provided - for enhanced user safety
You can re-enable Javascript in about:config by setting:
javascript.enabled = true
Other changes made will be documented coming up
(if you run install.sh you do not need to follow below!)
STEP 1: move start-i2p to /usr/bin/start-i2p
STEP 2: chmod +x /usr/bin/start-i2p
STEP 3: ensure i2prouterstart / i2prouterstop variables (inside /usr/bin/start-i2p) are set to correct i2prouter start / stop commands; (default: /home/$USER/i2p/i2prouter)
STEP 4: INSTALL I2PBrowsing Profile by copying entire folder: "o113n4wr.I2P Browsing" to /home/$USER/.librewolf (folder + contents)
NEXT: go to about:profiles and create new profile. IMPORTANT: Select the folder "o113n4wr.I2P Browsing" as location and name profile "I2PBrowsing" (to match variables)
STEP 5: Copy i2p.desktop to /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/i2p.desktop
STEP 6: Save i2p.jpg to /home/$USER/Pictures/i2p.jpg and replace the icon= line (inside /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/i2p.desktop) to match exact path (/home/$USER/Pictures/i2p.jpg)
For example Arch example by default shows: /home/alarm/Pictures/i2p.jpg for i2p.desktop icon location
Mobian users will use /home/mobian/Pictures/i2p.jpg (and set this inside the i2p.desktop file)
