Tzinit snapshot service

Choose the snapshot service closest to your servers:

• Asia: snapshots.asia.tzinit.org
• Europe: snapshots.eu.tzinit.org
• US: snapshots.us.tzinit.org

Assuming:

• region R: asia, eu, or us
• network N: mainnet, ghostnet, nairobinet or mondaynet.
• node M: full or rolling

Note: Only rolling snapshots are provided for Mondaynet.

Download snapshots over HTTPS

Download from the following address where R is the region, N is the network and M is the mode as above:

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

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

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

Download snapshots from Google Cloud Storage

Download using the gcloud CLI:

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

Example: download and import a rolling snapshot from mainnet Europe using gcloud:

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

Mount the Google Cloud Storage using fuse

Each network directory (e.g. gs://tf-snapshot-asia/mainnet) 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.
