What to Expect

Our snapshot will include details on our latest projects and guide on how to run their Node, achievements, and upcoming events. Don't miss it!

Geninfotech Initia Testnet Snapshot Server Setup

The snapshot is designed for node opeartors to run an efficient node on Initia chain. To make the snapshot as small as possible while still viable as a validator, we use the following setting to save on the disk space. It might be helpful for you to sync with our snapshot periodically because Tendermint chain storage grows over time regardless of the pruning. Since we periodically state-sync our snapshot nodes, you might notice that sometimes the size of our snapshot is surprisingly small and its streamed straight into your db to save space and easier set up. We take node snapshot periodically on a daily basis for testnet .

Initia Testnet Node Snapshot Guide

Stop your node by running the following command:

sudo service initia stop

If you're using the snapshot on a validator node during a chain halt, ensure you back up

priv_validator_state.json

#Back up priv_validator_state.json if needed

cp ~/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json  ~/.initia/priv_validator_state.json

Reset your node. This will erase your node database

# On some tendermint chains  
initiad unsafe-reset-all

# On other tendermint chains
initiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.initia --keep-addr-book

Stream and Decompress the snapshot to your database location. You database location will be something to the effect of ~/.initia depending on your node implemention.

curl -o - -L http://geninfotech.xyz/snapshots/snapshot_height_237843.tar.lz4 | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.initia

Replace the backed-up priv_validator_state.json

cp ~/.initia/priv_validator_state.json  ~/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json

Restart your node

sudo service initia start

Make sure that your node is running

sudo service initia status

sudo journalctl -u initia -f
