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:

Terminal window
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.
