Typical newbie question: how do I configure I2P as a servive in Linux Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu-based)?

Hi
the debian package is already prepared for running as a service.
Just install it and run "service i2p start" - and i2p runs as a service.
If you want to set it to autostart, use the default setup of your system to run services at startup.

This works for Debian 8 and you can alocate an amount of RAM up to 128k for it.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure i2p
User as i2psvc to start stop status
sudo systemctl start i2p
sudo systemctl stop i2p
sudo systemctl status i2p

Thanks! Who'd have thought it would be that easy?

By the way, I ended up running
at a command prompt so I2P would always start and run as a daemon at boot-up time so I don't have to manually start it. Plus I2P is always on as long as my computer's running which should help the network.
