To help new nodes catch up faster without syncing blocks from scratch, we publish snapshots compressed in zstd format.
Some users requested a convenient way to start lbcd with the snapshot without manually downloading and uncompress the snapshot. This is handy for automated / integrated setup environment.
This can be done with:
1) a wrapper script which downloads and uncompresses the snapshot before starting lbcd.
2) --snapshot cli flag, which takes a file or url.
Go has zstd package to do this.
Either implementation should support:
Download a snapshot from a URL
Uncompress from a downloaded snapshot
