Tzinit snapshot service

Please note that ghostnet is deprecated. Tallinn is the last protocol it will run. Please move to shadownet.

For Etherlink and Tezlink snapshots, go here.

Download snapshots over HTTPS

For:

network N (mainnet, ghostnet, etc.), and
mode M (full or rolling)

you can download the latest snapshot from:

https://snapshots.tzinit.org/N/M

Example: download and import a rolling snapshot over HTTPS using wget:

wget -O snapshot_file https://snapshots.tzinit.org/mainnet/rolling
octez-node snapshot import snapshot_file

Archive and full:50 backups are provided by tarball only. Please see the links above for instructions. Full:50 is particularly useful to smart rollup operators.

Download snapshots from Google Cloud Storage

Download using the gcloud CLI:

gcloud storage cp gs://tf-snapshot-eu/N/M snapshot_file

Example: download and import a rolling snapshot using gcloud:

gcloud storage cp gs://tf-snapshot-eu/mainnet/rolling snapshot_file
octez-node snapshot import snapshot_file

Set up Bakebuddy from a snapshot

Here we set up Bakebuddy from a rolling mainnet snapshot:

tezbake bootstrap-node https://snapshots.tzinit.org/mainnet/rolling

Mount the Google Cloud Storage using fuse

The storage buckets (e.g. gs://tf-snapshot-eu) can be mounted using the fuse filesystem. This means you can use the snapshots without downloading them directly to your machine. Please see the GCS Fuse documentation for more details.

mount -t gcsfuse -o ro,anonymous-access,implicit-dirs tf-snapshot-eu /snap
octez-node snapshot import /snap/mainnet/full
