The Zora Mainnet archive node has a size of 693GB on October 10th, 2024

Zora

Zora operates within the Optimism Superchain ecosystem and is built using the OP stack, which leverages the scalability and security of Optimism's Layer 2 infrastructure.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up a Zora Mainnet archive node using Optimism's op-geth and op-node tools.

Before you begin, ensure you have a synced Ethereum L1 RPC URL (such as Erigon) and an L1 Consensus Layer Beacon endpoint that includes all historical blobs data (for example, Lighthouse). Having a suitable beacon endpoint is crucial for the syncing process to initiate.

Tip: You can create a free account at Chainstack to obtain enough resources for syncing your node.

Pre-Requisites

To the archive node using Docker we need the following installed:

• Docker

• Python3

• git

Commands:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto-remove -y
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose git ufw -y

Firewall Setting:

Set explicit default UFW rules

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

Allow SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS

sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443

Allow Remote connection:

sudo ufw allow from ${REMOTE.HOST.IP} to any port 8545 
sudo ufw allow from ${REMOTE.HOST.IP} to any port 7545

Firewall Basic commands:

sudo ufw enable

services:
  op-geth: # this is Optimism's geth client
    ...
    volumes:
      - /mnt/zora-data:/data # enable to have persistency between restarts
      ...

Example Docker Compose:

version: '3.8'

services:
  op-geth: # this is Optimism's geth client
    pull_policy: always
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: op-geth.Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 8545:8545       # RPC
      - 8546:8546       # websocket
      - 30303:30303     # P2P TCP (currently unused)
      - 30303:30303/udp # P2P UDP (currently unused)
      - 7301:6060       # metrics
    env_file:
      - .env.default
      - networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/.env
      - .env
    volumes:
      #- ./geth-data/:/data # enable to have persistency between restarts
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/genesis.json:/genesis.json
  op-node:
    pull_policy: always
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: op-node.Dockerfile
    depends_on:
      - op-geth
    ports:
      - 7545:8545     # RPC
      - 9222:9222     # P2P TCP
      - 9222:9222/udp # P2P UDP
      - 7300:7300     # metrics
      - 6060:6060     # pprof
    env_file:
      - .env.default
      - networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/.env
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/rollup.json:/rollup.json
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/genesis.json:/genesis.json

Start Services Containers:

docker compose up -d --build

Check Status:

Below is the command for the request:

curl -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545 | jq .

You will see a response like:
