How to Unzip while Download the Snapshot? Node api2.justyy.com recovered

in steem •  5 days ago 

I've recovered the backup RPC/Seed node: api2.justyy.com and seed2.justyy.com due to a hardware failure (PDU). The server is a dedicated server so hardware problem is also a concern (e.g. harddisk failing).

The server has only 1 TB - so first I downloaded (as usualy) the snapshot from @ety001 's server https://files.steem.fans and unzipped, however, this causes problem as there was no enough disk space left.

The solution (learn something new every day)

is to unzip while downloading... This is particularly useful if the server has a limited hard disk space (less than 1 TB) in this case.

(wget -c -O- https://files.steem.fans/hetzner/steem_api_20250120.tar.lz4 | lz4 -d -v | tar x -v)

It takes about 8 hours.
