Really, really easy, individual-oriented I2P blogging with a low barrier to entry formerly based on kabukky/journey, now completely forked.

The first time you run Railroad you'll need to set a password, then re-start the application. You can do this by visiting the WebView(via the traymenu) or by visiting http://localhost:7672/admin/login.

Enable the SAM API: Go to http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients. Find the menu item called "SAM application bridge." Select "Run at Startup" and press the small arrow to the right of the text.

• Easy: Markdown-based blogging with Side-by-Side WYSIWYG output for your blog's content. Edit live with a rich, intuitive interface.
• Low barrier to Entry: Run on a desktop PC with any operating system. When it's running, it shows up as an application in your system tray.
• Individual-oriented: Host it anywhere you can install an I2P router, no third-party hosting required. No complicated server setup.

Windows Users: On Windows this application depends on the presence of WebView2 libraries. If they aren't present, the application will attempt to automatically download and install them. This is normal. If you do not want the application to do it, then you should do it yourself: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/.

The first time you run railroad you'll need to set up an account. Go to http://localhost:7672/admin/login/ and fill in your username and password. Restart the plugin and your site will become available.

If your GOPATH is unset, set it to $HOME/go

    export GOPATH=$HOME/go

If your $GOPATH is set, leave it as-is.

    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    git clone https://i2pgit.org/idk/railroad \
      $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    cd $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    make releases

Download the package for your platform, zip for Windows, tar.gz for Linux. Unzip the package and double-click the railroad.exe file for Windows or the railroad file for Linux.

Using checkinstall to generate a deb is done for you:

    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    git clone https://i2pgit.org/idk/railroad \
      $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    cd $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    make checkinstall
    sudo apt-get install ./i2p-railroad_0.0.01-1_amd64.deb

will set up railroad on Debian and Ubuntu for your system.

When using make install a wrapper script is installed to set up railroad in the user's $HOME/.config/railroad directory. It's installed to /usr/local/bin/railroad.

    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    git clone https://i2pgit.org/idk/railroad \
      $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    cd $GOPATH/src/i2pgit.org/idk/railroad
    sudo make install
