# vota-ash Snapshot and Unjail Guide ## How To Use Vota Mainnet Snapshot ### Install lz4 if needed ```shell sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd -y sudo snap install lz4 ``` ### Stop your node ```shell sudo systemctl stop dorad ``` ### Download the latest doravota and compile `dorad` You should check you have **deleted you local doravota source code** and download the latest doravota source code. ```shell rm -rf doravota git clone https://github.com/DoraFactory/doravota.git cd doravota && git checkout 0.3.1 ``` > The repo commit hash is: `231861b`. Please check before you build the source code. ```shell make install ``` ### Clean your local environment Since Vota has enabled wasm and its wasm folder is outside the data folder. To sure that you have a clean start, please delete your wasm folder and data folder manually. ```shell rm -rf $HOME/.dora/data $HOME/.dora/wasm ``` Due to the restart of a new P2P network environment, you also need to remove the old `addrbook.json` and add new peer nodes to you `~/.dorad/config/config.toml` to ensure data synchronization smoothly. ```shell rm ~/.dora/config/addrbook.json PEERS="d49defb23a75ff08c924622e3a2f69280983fed7@13.215.46.25:26656,d6e42c70316e354dcb44fd3a86e97b64fa99fc5e@54.179.177.80:26656,220204926f8da0e197572d458e205608306f1ed1@54.251.131.190:26656" && sed -i 's|^seeds *=.*|seeds = "'$PEERS'"|' $HOME/.dora/config/config.toml && sed -i 's|^persistent_peers *=.*|persistent_peers = "'$PEERS'"|' $HOME/.dora/config/config.toml ``` ### Download and Decompress the snapshot ```shell curl https://df-node-dump.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/dora_2786145.tar.lz4 | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.dora ``` ### Restart your node Double check everything you have done. ```shell sudo systemctl restart dorad && sudo journalctl -u dorad -f ``` ## Unjail your validator If your validator is currently in an "unjail" state, **after synchronizing to the latest block through the above snapshot**, please execute the "**unjail**" command to qualify your validator for entry into the active set. ```shell dorad tx slashing unjail --from <YOUR_OWNER_KEY_NAME> --gas-prices 100000000000peaka --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.8 --chain-id "vota-ash" ``` **Please ping us in Telegram when you executed all above operations!!!!!!**
