RE: Steps to restore a Hivemind database snapshot
I've been looking for a clear and up to date description of how to set up Hivemind. Thanks for this.
Is is possible to later add a steamd node to this setup and sync with it to create a complete full node? It would seem that this is a faster way to setup and recover from an outage as replay of steamd and above process could occur concurrently on seperate machines.
yes, it decreases the initial sync time from 1 week to 4 hours. :)
This is very important because shorter times to get back online after an outage mean that lower reliability can be tolerated. This all helps with decentralisation by allowing full nodes and parts thereof to be run on (high end) commodity machines.
Thanks. I voted for you as witness.
