Syncing Node 8 Months Behind – Seeking Faster Sync Options

[Parmanand0712]

I have started optimism full node with Docker by following the documentation and changed the db.engine from Pebble to LevelDB in the scripts/start-op-geth.sh file because I was getting an error. Now the node has started syncing, and the logs show it is syncing blocks that are 8 months and 4 days old.

Is it okay to wait, and will it sync with the latest block soon, or do I need to take any steps to speed up the sync?

It's possibly that snap sync is not supported by a LevelDB

You can try to find an OP mainnet LevelDB snapshot provider and extract them to the op-geth datadir in the docker volume.
