# Syncing commands
|
||
|
|
These commands are used to sync raw Ethereum data into Postgres.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## lightSync
|
||
|
|
Syncs VulcanizeDB with the configured Ethereum node, populating only block headers.
|
||
|
|
This command is useful when you want a minimal baseline from which to track targeted data on the blockchain (e.g. individual smart contract storage values or event logs).
|
||
|
|
1. Start Ethereum node
|
||
|
|
1. In a separate terminal start VulcanizeDB:
|
||
|
|
- `./vulcanizedb lightSync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## sync
|
||
|
|
Syncs VulcanizeDB with the configured Ethereum node, populating blocks, transactions, receipts, and logs.
|
||
|
|
This command is useful when you want to maintain a broad cache of what's happening on the blockchain.
|
||
|
|
1. Start Ethereum node (**if fast syncing your Ethereum node, wait for initial sync to finish**)
|
||
|
|
1. In a separate terminal start VulcanizeDB:
|
||
|
|
- `./vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## coldImport
|
||
|
|
Sync VulcanizeDB from the LevelDB underlying a Geth node.
|
||
|
|
1. Assure node is not running, and that it has synced to the desired block height.
|
||
|
|
1. Start vulcanize_db
|
||
|
|
- `./vulcanizedb coldImport --config <config.toml>`
|
||
|
|
1. Optional flags:
|
||
|
|
- `--starting-block-number <block number>`/`-s <block number>`: block number to start syncing from
|
||
|
|
- `--ending-block-number <block number>`/`-e <block number>`: block number to sync to
|
||
|
|
- `--all`/`-a`: sync all missing blocks
