Quick restore

export CELESTIA_HOME="$HOME/.celestia-app"
export SERVICE_NAME="celestia-appd"

sudo systemctl stop "${SERVICE_NAME}"
if [ -f "${CELESTIA_HOME}/data/priv_validator_state.json" ]; then
  cp "${CELESTIA_HOME}/data/priv_validator_state.json" "${CELESTIA_HOME}/priv_validator_state.json.backup"
fi
rm -rf "${CELESTIA_HOME}/data"

curl -fL https://snapshots.posthuman.digital/celestia-testnet/snapshot-latest.tar.lz4 | \
  lz4 -dc | tar -xf - -C "${CELESTIA_HOME}"

if [ -f "${CELESTIA_HOME}/priv_validator_state.json.backup" ]; then
  mv "${CELESTIA_HOME}/priv_validator_state.json.backup" "${CELESTIA_HOME}/data/priv_validator_state.json"
fi
sudo systemctl restart "${SERVICE_NAME}" && sudo journalctl -u "${SERVICE_NAME}" -f

For validator recovery, preserving and restoring priv_validator_state.json is mandatory. Never replace it with an older value from a snapshot.

The pipeline keeps the archive pruned and ready for rapid validator or full-node recovery. Browse historical builds at https://snapshots.posthuman.digital/celestia-testnet/.
