Run a chain via snapshot

Workflow of running a chain node

• Download snapshot

Method 1:

wget https://chain-snapshot-data.bool.network/beta-testnet-node-snapshot-latest.zip

• Replace data

beta-testnet-node-snapshot-latest.zip has been downloaded. Unzip the beta-testnet-node-snapshot-latest.zip to the specified chain node data directory, replace the original data directory node-data, and then restart the chain service node. Assume that your link node data directory is ~/bool-beta-testnode

mv ~/bool-beta-testnode/node-data ~/bool-beta-testnode/node-data_old
unzip beta-testnet-node-snapshot-latest.zip -d ~/bool-beta-testnode/

• (Optional) Modify docker-compose.yaml

Modify the node's docker-compose.yaml configuration to remove --state-pruning archive and --block-pruning archive

sed -i '/--state-pruning archive/d;/--blocks-pruning archive/d' docker-compose.yaml

• Start the chain service node

docker-compose up -d
