Testnet
The snapshot service for Space and Time Testnet is available here.
Whether you need to bootstrap your full node or you are in need of a snapshot to ease the migration or kick-start of your validator, you can use our daily snapshot service to speed up the process.
Note: the nodes used for snapshotting are pruned nodes of Space and Time and are hosted as Systemd services on machines using Ubuntu 22.04.
How to use
You simply go to our snapshot service, select the "SXT Snapshots" section and you can download the latest available snapshot! In order to use it, simply decompress the archive as per the following instructions and start your node.
# download the snapshot
wget https://snapshots.bwarelabs.com/sxt/testnet/sxt20241202.tar.lz4
# if SXT was already on your machine, stop your SXT service
sudo systemctl stop sxt.service
# OR container
docker stop <SXT_CONTAINER_NAME>
# AND make sure there is no process running that might try to write to the database
# make sure your sxt data directory is clean (let us assume <SXT_HOME> is your root SXT directory)
rm -rf <SXT_HOME>/chains/sxt-testnet/db/
# make sure you have lz4 installed
sudo apt-get install lz4
# decompress the archive
lz4 -c -d sxt20241202.tar.lz4 | tar -x -C <SXT_HOME>/chains/sxt-testnet/
# start the SXT service OR container
You should be in-sync with the network in minutes after starting the node.
