ancient-store-s3

Store your core-geth ancient block data on S3.

This program is a persistence manager for core-geth "ancient" block data using Amazon S3, and can be used as a replacement for the core-geth (and go-ethereum) default of persisting ancient data in local flat, compressed files.

Requirements

• core-geth

Setup Environment Variables

You'll need to use AWS's profile configuration strategies, eg. an ~/.aws/config file. Once you have a profile established for use, you can set the corresponding environment variable.
