Bootstrap
Dolos Snapshot

Bootstrap using a Dolos Snapshot

TxPipe generates daily snapshots for the storage of Dolos. This comes in 2 varieties:

  • Full: This includes the full chain history.
  • Ledger: This includes only the ledger part, with a minimal WAL used to intersect against peers and continue sync.

Execution

To execute the snapshot bootstrap procedure, you need to run the following command line:

dolos bootstrap snapshot --variant full|ledger

The process will take from several minutes to a few hours depending on the network. You'll see a sequence of progress bars describing the each of the steps of the process.

⚠️

The process doesn't support resuming from previous runs, if you interrupt the process you'll need to start over.

The above command won't proceed if it detects that you already have data from previous Dolos runs.
