# Snapshot

**Chain ID:** stride-1

**Node Version:** v8.0.0

## Pre-requisite Setup

Configure the pruning settings as follows: **app.toml**

```toml
pruning = "custom"

pruning-keep-recent = "100"
pruning-keep-every = "0"
pruning-interval = "10"
```

**config.toml**

```toml
indexer = "null"
```

Install lz4 if not already installed. This guide assumes that a Debian based OS is used:

```bash
sudo apt update &&\

sudo apt install -y snapd &&\

sudo snap install lz4
```

Stop the node. If not using cosmovisor to manage the stride daemon, use whatever service you use to manage the stride daemon

```bash
sudo systemctl cosmovisor stop
```

Reset the node. Depending on the chain, this can be done in one of two ways.

**WARNING:** While this should not wipe the `priv_validator_key.json` file, you should back up this key on validators prior to running the following commands.

```bash
# On some tendermint chains, use this command to reset the node database
strided tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.stride

# On other tendermint chains, use this command if the above command did not work
strided unsafe-reset-all
```

## Basic Setup

Download the latest snapshot:

```bash
wget $(wget -q -O - https://eu2.contabostorage.com/3a857da4bd64407caf5c7a4f9af739b7:relyte-snapshots/stride_mainnet%2Flatest)
```

Extract the snapshot to the database location:

```bash
lz4 -c -d stride_*.tar.lz4  | tar -x -C $HOME/.stride
```

Restart the node assuming no errors were thrown while extracting the snapshot:

```bash
sudo systemctl cosmovisor start
```

Remove the snapshot archive to free up disk space

```bash
rm -v stride_*.tar.lz4
```

Make sure that the node is running without issues

```bash
sudo systemctl status cosmovisor
sudo journalctl -fu cosmovisor -o cat
```

## Advanced Setup (Recommended)

This method requires less disk space than the previous method and is less commands overall.

Download and unarchive the snapshot to the database directory

```bash
wget -O - $(wget -q -O - https://eu2.contabostorage.com/3a857da4bd64407caf5c7a4f9af739b7:relyte-snapshots/stride_mainnet%2Flatest) | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.stride
```

Make sure that the node is running without issues

```bash
sudo systemctl status cosmovisor
sudo journalctl -fu cosmovisor -o cat
```
