Docker instructions out of date about i2p.i2p

[Aarkon]

The general idea was that you would store your config directories on a docker mount and just update the entire image.

Thanks for tuning in! Updating the entire image is just what I did. My compose file is pretty much identical to the one from the docs, but for the sake of completeness (just adapted the paths I mount into the container slightly for public display), let me clarify:

version: "3.5"
services:
  i2p:
    container_name: i2p
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: geti2p/i2p:i2p-i2p-2.1.0
    volumes:
      - "config/i2p:/i2p/.i2p"
      - "torrents:/i2psnark"
    ports:
      - 54321:12345
      - 54321:12345/udp
      - 4444:4444
      - 4445:4445
      - 7657:7657

With that Image, the onlyrouter.config lives in /i2p/.i2p like it used to be. When unpinning the version by changing the image tag to just image: geti2p/i2p and updating with docker-compose pull, I get the above issue where the service in the container expects to find the router.config directly under /i2p and gives me a file with merely three lines of content, listing only a few default port configurations.

Can we reopen this? It looks like that commit didn't solve the issue. If I use anything newer that geti2p/i2p:i2p-i2p-2.1.0 the webui is not available on 7657. Rolling back to 2.1.0 without changing anything in the config fixes the issue.

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p:i2p-i2p-2.1.0
        ports:
            - 4444:4444
            - 7657:7657
            - 4445:4445
            - 6668:6668
            - 54321:12345
            - 54321:12345/udp
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
            - ./i2ptorrents:/i2psnark
        environment:
            - IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0
        restart: unless-stopped

Reopening because people are still reporting it, not sure what's going on yet as it is working for me at the moment.

Please test using the latest checkin:

git clone https://github.com/i2p/i2p.i2p
cd i2p.i2p
docker build -t geti2p/i2p .

and run with:

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p
        ports:
            - 4444:4444
            - 7657:7657
            - 4445:4445
            - 6668:6668
            - 54321:12345
            - 54321:12345/udp
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
            - ./i2ptorrents:/i2psnark
        environment:
            - IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0
        restart: unless-stopped

I think the problem is in startapp.sh. Near the bottom, the variable JAVAOPTS is defined but then JAVA_OPTS is referenced. This causes the jar to be started without a i2p.dir.config set, and a bunch of configuration gets created at /root/.i2p instead of at /i2p/.i2p. A router.config gets created there instead, while other stuff still gets referenced in /i2p/.i2p.

When I go into the docker image and remove the underscore from JAVA_OPTS it works as expected.

Oops, here I am with the fix not checked in. That doesn't do anybody any good. Sorry guys about that, thanks @bedaro for calling my attention to it.

The latest image worked on my existing config without modification. I haven't tested with a clean slate though
