## ipfs-blockchain-watcher resync The `resync` command is made available for directing the resyncing of ipfs-blockchain-watcherdata within specified ranges. It also contains a utility for cleaning out old data, and resetting the validation level of data. ### Rational Manual resyncing of data is useful when we want to re-validate data within specific ranges using a new source. Cleaning out data is useful when we need to remove bad/deprecated data or prepare for breaking changes to the db schemas. Resetting the validation level of data is useful for designating ranges of data for resyncing by an ongoing ipfs-blockchain-watcher backfill process. ### Command Usage: `./ipfs-blockchain-watcher resync --config={config.toml}` Configuration can also be done through CLI options and/or environmental variables. CLI options can be found using `./ipfs-blockchain-watcher resync --help`. ### Config Below is the set of universal config parameters for the resync command, in .toml form, with the respective environmental variables commented to the side. This set of parameters needs to be set no matter the chain type. ```toml [database] name = "vulcanize_public" # $DATABASE_NAME hostname = "localhost" # $DATABASE_HOSTNAME port = 5432 # $DATABASE_PORT user = "vdbm" # $DATABASE_USER password = "" # $DATABASE_PASSWORD [ipfs] path = "~/.ipfs" # $IPFS_PATH [resync] chain = "ethereum" # $RESYNC_CHAIN type = "state" # $RESYNC_TYPE start = 0 # $RESYNC_START stop = 1000 # $RESYNC_STOP batchSize = 10 # $RESYNC_BATCH_SIZE batchNumber = 100 # $RESYNC_BATCH_NUMBER timeout = 300 # $HTTP_TIMEOUT clearOldCache = true # $RESYNC_CLEAR_OLD_CACHE resetValidation = true # $RESYNC_RESET_VALIDATION ``` Additional parameters need to be set depending on the specific chain. For Bitcoin: ```toml [bitcoin] httpPath = "127.0.0.1:8332" # $BTC_HTTP_PATH pass = "password" # $BTC_NODE_PASSWORD user = "username" # $BTC_NODE_USER nodeID = "ocd0" # $BTC_NODE_ID clientName = "Omnicore" # $BTC_CLIENT_NAME genesisBlock = "000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f" # $BTC_GENESIS_BLOCK networkID = "0xD9B4BEF9" # $BTC_NETWORK_ID ``` For Ethereum: ```toml [ethereum] httpPath = "127.0.0.1:8545" # $ETH_HTTP_PATH nodeID = "arch1" # $ETH_NODE_ID clientName = "Geth" # $ETH_CLIENT_NAME genesisBlock = "0xd4e56740f876aef8c010b86a40d5f56745a118d0906a34e69aec8c0db1cb8fa3" # $ETH_GENESIS_BLOCK networkID = "1" # $ETH_NETWORK_ID ```
