 # I2PD exporter
 
-A basic prometheus exporter that exports miscellaneous data using the i2pcontrol protocol such as peers, data sent & received and so on...
+A basic prometheus exporter that exports miscellaneous data using the i2pcontrol protocol such as peers, data sent & received and so on...  
+Right now there are some problems with using exporter as the options for i2pd in nixpkgs are wrong... Therefore upon starting the program will error out with `InvalidPassword`. But it works alright on other systems
+
+## How to use (Nix)
+
+1. Import to your flake
+
+```nix
+{
+  description = "A simple NixOS flake";
+
+  inputs = {
+    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";
+    i2pd-exporter = {
+      url = "path:/home/grape/code/i2pdexporter";
+      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
+    };
+
+  };
+
+  outputs =
+    { self
+    , nixpkgs
+    , i2pd-exporter
+    , ...
+    }:
+    let
+      system = "x86_64-linux";
+    in
+    {
+      nixosConfigurations.server = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem
+        {
+          inherit system;
+          modules = [
+            ./configuration.nix
+
+            i2pd-exporter.nixosModules.default
+          ];
+        };
+    };
+}
+
+```
+
+2. Enable I2PControl for I2PD
+
+```nix
+{pkgs, ...}:{
+
+  services.i2pd = {
+    enable = true;
+    proto.i2pControl = {
+        enable = true;
+        port = 7659;
+        name = "i2pcontrol";
+        address = "127.0.0.1";
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+3. Enable the exporter
+
+```nix
+{pkgs, ...}:{
+  services.prometheus.exporters.i2pd = {
+    enable = true;
+    port = 3321;
+    openFirewall = true;
+    routerAddress = "https://127.0.0.1:7650";
+    routerPassword = "itoopie";
+  };
+}
+```
+
+4. Scrape via prometheus
+
+```nix
+{ pkgs, config, ... }: {
+
+  services.prometheus = {
+    enable = true;
+
+    scrapeConfigs = [
+      {
+        job_name = "i2p";
+        scrape_interval = "5s";
+        static_configs = [
+          {
+            targets = [ "localhost:${toString config.services.prometheus.exporters.i2pd.port}" ];
+            labels = { alias = "i2pd.server.local"; };
+          }
+        ];
+      }
+    ];
+  }
+}
+```
+
+5. Import the grafana dashboard
+   **todo**
+
+# Docker
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
