Bazzite does not come with java.
As... far as I am aware... you cannot install Java via flatpak or appimage or any other methods Bazzite says are safe to install things by/with.
To install java, in Fedora, you are told to use dnf, but Bazzite has disabled dnf because they use rpm-ostree to maintain a controlled and static core os.
To install java using rpm-ostree would likely lead to dependency conflict hell, and destabilize Bazzite... because the entire point of Bazzite is to enforce specific rpm-ostree build recipes, to provide maximum stability for officially supported stuff.
You could potentially set up distrobox container, set up java there, install i2p in the container... but that container is isolated from messing with systemctl, which i2p must do (as far as I can tell?) to actually function properly... so this also seems like it would not work.
Can you experiment and see if
rpm-ostreewill lead to destabilization? If nothing else works this is IMO your best shot other than building from source to use inrpm-ostree.I can... and I have... and this has resulted in destabilzation.
... This is why I am asking for help, if anyone has figured this out... and why I am not asking for permission to continue to flail about ineffectively.
As far as I can tell, as ludicrous as it seems... setting up a distrobox with an actual mainline fedora build, then configuring it as a dev enviroment, then building an rpm package for i2p, from source inside this container... and then installing that static rpm into actual Bazzite OS...
That would probably at least be more stable for Bazzite as a whole, just feeding it a single, extra, static package, as compared to source dependency hell...
But I have no idea if I2P would... actually compile correctly... and... work.
Although, I have managed to build Godot, a few versions ago, doing this, just as an experiment... and it ... seemed to... mostly work?

There were lots of fun unique error messages in the console that just did not exist anywhere else online.
I've not used i2p but I've had to mess with a lot of other random weird tools under bazzite. I'd suggest installing it in a distrobox. There is a command for linking programs from your host into the distrobox and then exposing them back to the host. I forget the exact syntax but I used it for vscode and intellij and it was really straight forward and worked well. I don't see why it wouldn't work with i2p and Firefox.
