Introduction

This page is about plugins designed for the I2P router console.

I2P plugins are both a means to extend I2P's router functionality as well as a method of packaging things.

I2P plugins are stored in ".xpi2p" files, and can be installed or uninstalled from the I2P router console.

Comment by Khanjant, 2016-03-17: "This is the plugin list managed to recover after the epic fall of http://plugins.i2p. Gathered from the plugin list on stats.i2p and a unofficial temporary list. I (Khanjant) just started, not finished yet.

Because of the sudden shutdown of http://plugins.i2p, some plugins files are still missing to us, if you have some that miss in this list, please contact user:Hummingbird.

FAQ

Does the plugin version always match with the latest standalone version?

Not always. Sometimes the plugin version is outdated: the standalone version of the software is more recent. If this case, you should use the standalone version.

How to install a plugin?

Usually, the process is as follows:

  1. Go to the plugin page in your I2P router console: 'I2P Services' > 'Clients' > 'Plugins' (or click this URL: http://127.0.0.1:7657/configplugins)
  2. If you have the URL to the plugin file: at the bottom of the page, look for the box 'Installation from URL.' Paste inside the URL to the plugin file (example: http://bote.i2p/i2pbote.su3)
  3. If you have the plugin file on your HDD: at the bottom of the page, look for the box 'Installation from File' and browse to the location of the file.
  4. Click the button 'Install Plugin' (or 'Install Plugin from file')
  5. Wait several minutes
  6. Once installed, you will see a new text string at the top of the router console, below 'I2P Services'

Note: you should read the description page of the plugin, because there is perhaps more setup to do.

How to check the signature of a plugin file manually, before installing it

Usually, this isn't needed. The I2P router plugin installer automatically checks whether the signature of the downloaded .su3 file is valid and created by an authorized developer.

If you still want to verify the signature manually, enter the following at the command line: 

java -jar /path/to/i2p.jar su3file verifysig -k /path/to/certificates/plugin/signer_at_mail.i2p.crt /path/to/plugin.su3

Note: most plugins' source codes are downloadable from the I2P's Monotone server[17].

Tails

Installation of plugins is disabled in Tails.[18]

Plugin Development

Those looking to create new plugins for I2P might want to look at the introduction to plugin development, the plugin specification, and the plugin forum.
