Portable mode

[BiosNod]

Is it possible to use i2p.i2p in portable mode? I couldn't find instructions so I did it this way:

Install via i2pinstall_2.9.0_windows.exe and select custom dir instead of C:\ during installation

After installation go to the i2p folder:

In wrapper.config set:

wrapper.java.classpath.1=lib\*.jar
wrapper.java.library.path.1=
wrapper.java.library.path.2=lib
# Dot instead of empty, I'm not sure but about it, but in case of empty string I have an error
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Di2p.dir.base="."
wrapper.logfile=i2ptemp/wrapper.log
wrapper.java.pidfile=i2ppid\routerjvm.pid
wrapper.pidfile=i2ppid\i2p.pid

In the same wrapper.config, remove # from the beginning of the lines and set:

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Di2p.dir.pid="i2ppid"
wrapper.java.additional.3.stripquotes=TRUE
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Di2p.dir.temp="i2ptemp"
wrapper.java.additional.4.stripquotes=TRUE
wrapper.java.additional.5=-Di2p.dir.config="ip2config"
wrapper.java.additional.5.stripquotes=TRUE

In i2prouter.bat add after setlocal:

rmdir /s /q i2ptemp
mkdir i2ppid
mkdir i2ptemp

Replace the directory with the installed program with empty in all files in files in folders:

in ip2config/i2ptunnel.config.d/*
in ip2config/eepsite/*
in ip2config/clients.config.d/*

And in file ip2config/clients.config.bak
Example of replacement: 'D:\soft\i2p' -> ''

Run via i2prouter.bat, check is all OK, stop

Move to another directory, run via i2prouter.bat and check all again

Everything works in portable mode, including jetty and other clients, but if you create a new tunnel, etc., then
unfortunately, in the .xml file of the tunnel (along the path ip2config/i2ptunnel.config.d/*)
a line with the full path is written and you need to delete the full path again path from the line:
configFile=full_path_to_dat_file.dat

Is it possible to somehow configure everything so that everything will use relative paths automatically, and no need to change it manually? I know I can use Docker but I want to use it without containers in portable mode with ability to move to another folder

Yes it can be done. There are example configs in the repo but a step-by-step guide might be better. Thanks for the suggestion, will follow up soon.
