To run locally (for testing purposes):

• Install proxychains, configure it for Tor

• Pull in the dependencies:

  $ proxychains ./setup_venv.sh
  

  (you can also pull them non-anon by leaving out proxychains)

• Compile translations (if you want to see them):

  $ ./compile-messages.sh
  

• Start the webserver:

  $ ./runserver.py
  

• Open the site at http://localhost:5000/

If you want to mirror the I2P website, thanks! Here is a checklist:

• Do not edit any of the files in i2p2www/
  • In particular, do not change the CANONICAL_DOMAIN variable in i2p2www/__init__.py, it needs to point to the official site for SEO.
• If you need to edit variables in etc/update.vars, copy the file to etc/update.vars.custom and edit appropriately. The only variable you may need to edit is MTNURL in etc/update.vars (if your Monotone client tunnel is listening on a different port).
• If you want to enable caching, copy i2p2www/settings.py.sample to i2p2www/settings.py and edit appropriately.
• Add ./site-updater.sh to your crontab. This will keep the site updated, recompile the translations when necessary, and touch a file in /tmp/ (look in etc/update.vars for the filename, your webserver should restart WSGI when the timestamp of this file changes).

Configuration files for the various scripts are in etc/. Environment variables in etc/translation.vars can be overridden by creating the file etc/translation.vars.custom and re-defining the environment variables there.
