How do I actually run an Ink mainnet node right now? #87
Description
Trying to run an Ink mainnet node and hitting dead ends on every path:
NODE_TYPE=archivefails —ink.snapshots.gelato.clouddoesn't resolve (NXDOMAIN),
so no snapshot download.NODE_TYPE=fullwith op-geth technically syncs from genesis, but op-geth can't
follow the chain post-Karst anyway.- Tried migrating to op-reth manually (v2.2.5 + op-node v1.18.2) since that's the
recommended path now, but it has zero P2P peers (using the bootnodes from
envs/ink-mainnet/op-node.env, port 30305 — all unreachable) so it never
backfills state.
What's the actual working way to bring up a synced mainnet node right now? Is there
a current snapshot, or working op-reth peers?

fix(init-bedrock): actionable errors and a snapshot URL override
Alicepoltora commentedon Oct 5, 2026
Opened fixes for points 1 and 2:
archive / NXDOMAIN — fix(init-bedrock): validate node type and survive the decommissioned snapshot indexes #93 makes
NODE_TYPE=archivefail with an actionable message instead of a curl resolver error, and adds aBEDROCK_TAR_DOWNLOADoverride in.envso you can pointbedrock-initat your own geth datadir tarball (it must ship a matching<url>.sha256; verification is unchanged). docs: mark Gelato snapshot indexes as decommissioned #94 marks the dead indexes as decommissioned in the README.op-geth can't follow the chain post-Karst — fix: bump node images to Karst-capable releases #95 bumps op-node
v1.13.2 → v1.19.7and op-gethv1.101503.4 → v1.101702.2. Karst lands in op-node v1.17.0 / op-geth v1.101609.x, so the pinned images currently predate it; both target tags exist in the public OP Labs registry, and v1.19.7's embedded superchain registry still carries Ink withkeep_karst_upgrade_gas = true, so derivation matches Ink's history.Point 3 (op-reth bootnodes unreachable) isn't something I can verify from here — if #95 lands, the op-geth path in this template should work again without needing op-reth.
All three are open PRs; happy to adjust anything.
