🧰 Initialization Using Snapshots

Follow these steps to bootstrap a Pharos node using the latest snapshot:

✅ Step1: Download the Snapshot Dataset

We periodically update the latest dataset.

wget https://snapshot.dplabs-internal.com/devnet/snapshot-2025-05-27-03-13.tar.gz
tar -zxvf snapshot.tar.gz

Check this page regularly for updates. Only use snapshots that match your target network.

🧯 Step2: Stop the Container

docker-compose down

🧹 Step3: Remove Local Data and Replace with the Latest Snapshot

rm -rf /data/$WORKSPACE/pharos-node/domain/light/data/public
mv public /data/$WORKSPACE/pharos-node/domain/light/data/public

🚀 Step4: Start the Container

docker-compose up -d
