Syncing From Snapshot
Instructions for faster syncing by use of a recent snapshot
Current latest snapshot hosted by Taraxa dev team is here:
Follow the these steps:
- 1.Download the snapshot (link above)
- 2.Uncompress the snapshot archive
- 3.Stop the node process
- 4.Replace
state_dbanddbfolders into the data folder for your node. (Default path is~/.taraxa/dataor as specified in your node config.) - 5.Restart your node to begin syncing from the block height of your snapshot.
Congrats you are all done and node will sync faster than having started from the beginning!
Follow the these steps:
- 1.Download the snapshot (link above)
- 2.Uncompress the snapshot archive
- 3.Open a terminal and navigate to the location containing the renamed snapshot state_db and db folders.
- 4.Run the following commands in the terminal to copy them into your dockerized container: `
docker cp ./db $(docker ps --format "{{.Names}}" | grep mainnet | grep node):/opt/taraxa_data/data/db/db_new
docker cp ./state_db $(docker ps --format "{{.Names}}" | grep mainnet | grep node):/opt/taraxa_data/data/db/state_db_new
docker-compose down
docker run --rm -it -v $(docker volume ls | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i mainnet):/data alpine ash -c "cd /data/db; mv db db_bk; mv state_db state_db_bk; mv db_new db; mv state_db_new state_db"
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f
Congrats you are all done and node will sync faster than having started from the beginning!
