Deploy Pussy node from snapshot

Download snapshot

First, go to Pussy Snapshot Robot quitter page

Latest post will show you available snapsot:

Сlick on the link with the block and you will see three results:

We typicaly store only latest snashot, older might be available only in IPFS if someone stored them.

The first one is a hash of the current snapshot that can be downloaded directly from ipfs (to use this way, you need an ipfs client installed)

ipfs get <insert the hash here> --output space-pussy-pruned.tar.gz

The second hash contains url that can be downloaded directly:

wget https://jupiter.cybernode.ai/shared/space-pussy-pruned_<change block number>.tar.gz

Unpack snapshot

Single thread:

tar -xvzf space-pussy-pruned_<snap_block>.tar.gz

Multiple threads (much faster and require pigz installation):

apt install pigz
tar -I pigz -xf space-pussy-pruned_<snap_block>.tar.gz -C ./

Stop Pussy

docker stop space-pussy

Remove old data from home directory

Dont forget to use correct path if your node is not in $HOME of your user.

rm -rf ~/.pussy/data ~/.pussy/wasm

Move unpacked folders into home directory

cd space-pussy-pruned_<snap_block>
mv data/ ~/.pussy/
mv wasm/ ~/.pussy/

Set up your pruning strategy to everything

To save the space ont the disk consumed by the node set pruning to everything (lightest one) and set snapshot-interval to 0 in .pussy/config/app.toml:

pruning = "everything"
snapshot-interval = 0

Start Pussy container and check logs

docker start space-pussy
docker logs space-pussy -f --tail 10

You will see node started sync from the snapshot block.

When done dont forget to remove folder and archive to save some space

rm -rf space-pussy-pruned_<snap_block> space-pussy-pruned_<snap_block>.tar.gz
