I can only this page all over 10 days.
I can’t know what is issue.

#4

Ok, it looks like the node is syncing (downloading the DB) … can take a while …

Use glive to have a better luck

#5

So is “15 days” good state ?

#6

15 days is much I believe; without glive is hard to see the process…
U can see the status of sync with the commnand

vmi438734:~$ cardano-cli query tip --mainnet

This is preprod testnet. So I already did it.
But it says “Socket does not exist”.
This is why I posted this article.

#8

There are 2 reasons:

  • the node doesn’t start and the socket file was not created
  • u must export the socket path (if the node started)
#9
  1. I already have exported socket path.
    2.the socket db is created in the db folder.
    How can I check whether the node is started or not ?
#10

you can download the latest DB from: Cardano Blockchain Snapshot

#11

Sorry, but is this for preprod network ?
Or others ?

#12

Thanks,@lauris
Sorry, but I am looking for testnet db.
If you let me know, I will be happy.
Regards

#13

you can find the db for mainnet and also for testnet (ckeck on top-right corner menu)

Cheers,

#14

Great. @lauris ,@Alexd. Thank you.
I will check all.

#15

I have downloaded, but I can’t find node.socket file.

After I download the db, how do I have to do for syncronizing?

#16

Why do u need the file? The socket file is there only when the node is started, and it will be removed (after few time) when the node stoped

#17

If so, how can I set socket PATH ?
I have seen that it needs node.socket file in the PATH.
For example, ```
export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=“$HOME/cardano/testnet-db/node.socket”

But with the downloaded files, how can I do ?
