I installed I2P on a Linux laptop. For the moment I’d prefer not to have I2P to start automatically as system service. The installation guide says that after installation I can simply run i2prouter start, which starts the service and opens the router console on my browser; I’ve configured the router.

Question 1: what’s the best way to shut down router and service, when I need to? The guide above says I can use the command i2prouter stop; but I also see buttons on the browser console and on the tray on the taskbar.

Question 2: I’ve also noticed that sometimes after i2prouter start I get asked again to configure the router. How do I make sure the configuration is saved once and for all?

Unfortunately I didn’t find anything about these specific points in guides or FAQs.

Thanks for helping!

    oh and one more thing. if you run it in docker, it won’t receive the system shutdown signal. on your setup you probably don’t have this problem, buy you can check on the web interface if it is shutting down

      Thanks for the additional tip! Not using docker at the moment, but I’ll keep this in mind if I do :)
