hello, i just made a backup file and the steps for sync from block +900k. in gaia -8001
Build the node first Time like=
#Install go
wget -c 'https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz' -O go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -Rf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
#Set gopath
vi $HOME/.profile
#Add this lines to your file:
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"
GOPATH="$HOME/go"
PATH="$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin"
#reload profile
source $HOME/.profile
#Download Cosmos
go get github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk
cd go/src/github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk
git fetch --tags
git checkout v0.24.1
make get_vendor_deps && make install
gaia init --name validatorian name
cd .gaiad/data
#If -bash: cd: data: Permission denied =
sudo chown user:group data
#Remove default genesis file and down the good for gaia-8001. (today)
rm genesis.json
Get the good.
wget -c 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmos/testnets/master/gaia-8001/genesis.json '
#Add seed nodes and persistent peers to config.toml and verify your Validatorian name is ok.
vi config.toml
seeds = “7c8b8fd03577cd4817f5be1f03d506f879df98d8@gaia-seed1.interblock.io:26656, a28737ff02391a6e00a1d3b79befd57e68e8264c@gaia-seed2.interblock.io:26656, 987ffd26640cd03d08ed7e53b24dfaa7956e612d@gaia-seed3.interblock.io:26656,837ab35ee80e6882da08ab6244ef27538e73aedd@gaia-seed4.interblock.io:26656”
gaiad start
wait for the blocks sync, (see you are in gaia-8001 ok)
stop gaiad
cd .gaiad
sudo rm -r data/*
cd
wget -c 'https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmW9DagwBMhka5B8cERcVCrrB3NMKXStXPnAr2uNewX4or' -O data.tar.gz
tar -xzf data.tar.gz
cp -r data/* $HOME/.gaiad/data
rm -rf data
rm data.tar.gz
start gaiad
have to start in the block +900k
here have to sync from block +900k.
After stop the first time , node sync block 100
Then rm the data and dump the backup file, like in the instrutions
have to sync from block +900k
if follow the steps all is working well.
My IPFS node works fine, this is the normal time to download the file.
For that if see the download is slow. stop and start again.
Enjoy.
