i2p.i2p VS Magnetico

How to setup I2P | How to setup Tor

This appears to link to the C++ version of I2P. Not the original "Official" Java version which is more complex and has much more built-in features: https://geti2p.net

> anonymous P2P encrypted communication platform (that doesn't require anything like a phone number for creating an account)

You mean https://geti2p.net?

It is not sufficient to serve the torrent files (or magnet links) anonymously: you will leak your IP unless you also download the actual files through darknet. However, Tor project does not recommend to use Tor for that: https://support.torproject.org/#misc_misc-4.

The actual solution is torrenting through I2P: https://geti2p.net. They support it out of the box and there are a few good trackers.

I've tried it from scratch, and it does indeed work on Parrot. I used the Debian apt repo on geti2p.net website.

I recently decided to setup I2P on a Raspberry Pi, so I installed the jar file listed on the geti2p.net on Linux. When I went into the directory where the other i2p files are I couldn't find the router.config file.

https://geti2p.net is real

This is really neat. I'll need to check it out. A couple years ago I ran my own instance of Magnetico (https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico), but this project looks a lot more polished.

This is likely your best bet, but I'd recommend you use postgres over sqlite, this is however where development died so some features like search or stats aren't implemented while using pg as the db.

You can create decentralized bittorrent indexers though (see https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico as an example)! This means you can search for bittorrent files without having to rely on a centralized service (although building the index does require some time & storage space of course).

Someone else did this a while back, universe continues to exist.

I just get a rickroll gif on your link. Did you mean this project?

"Autonomous (self-hosted) BitTorrent DHT search engine suite."

https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico

Although I admit, that I would love to see a maintained DHT search solution (like magnetico or dhtcrawler2).

Yeah, you probably found it. Abandoned, yes, but not necessarily unfinished.

A magnet search is easy enough to self-host, I can provide you with instructions to self-host a clearnet magnet search engine over I2P in the meantime, but you can probably figure it out from this: https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico which is an easy to self-host DHT search engine.
