Hey folks!
I just learned about I2P and already tested it successfully with I2Pd on my debian PC.
But I want to support the network 24/7 so I need to set it up on my raspberry pi 4 and I plan to use it from LAN.
So I installed it like described in the documentation for debian (https://docs.i2pd.website/en/latest/user-guide/install/#linux).
I changed my config via sudo nano /etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf and edited some things like this:
[http]
enabled = true
address = 0.0.0.0
port = 7070
[httpproxy]
enabled = true
address = 0.0.0.0
port = 4444
and I restarted with sudo systemctl restart i2pd
I am using the I2Pd-Firefox-Bundle and I changed the Firefox-settings (Settings -> Network Settings) to this:
(pointing to my raspberry pi)
.i2p-Sites are working well so far, but I am not able to open the webconsole with this configuration.
I try to open it with http://192.168.178.26:7070/ but I only get host mismatch.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Edit:
A solution has been found with nginx:
On the Pi:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
Followed by:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/i2pd
Edit to:
server {
listen 8080;
server_name _;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7070/;
proxy_set_header Host localhost;
}
}
Enable the file:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/i2pd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Deleted the nginx-default-site
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
I missed that you are using it remotely.
You can set up a proxy with nginx that changes the host parameter to localhost then connect to that.
Or you can for example use an addon that sends a custom Host value.
Fundamentally the hostname is just a freetext field you can fill however you want.
