Data Requested Is Before Recorded History

[mvanmeerbeck]

Hello!

What problem does your feature solve?

Having a complete history in order to avoid this error on horizon:

GET /ledgers/1
{
  "type": "https://stellar.org/horizon-errors/before_history",
  "title": "Data Requested Is Before Recorded History",
  "status": 410,
  "detail": "This horizon instance is configured to only track a portion of the stellar network's latest history. This request is asking for results prior to the recorded history known to this horizon instance."
}

When you boot the image, it only works starting from the ledger 8.

What would you like to see?

I would like to be able to configure the quickstart image so that i can decide if i want the whole history or not.
I've tried many things around CATCHUP_COMPLETE but i could not make it work

What alternatives are there?

I could not figure any other option

Thank you!

Here some progress.
After starting the stellar/quickstart container:

• I enter the container

docker-compose exec -it stellar /bin/bash

• stop horizon through supervisorctl

supervisorctl
stop horizon

• reingest from ledger 1 to 8

/usr/bin/stellar-horizon db reingest range 1 8

• start horizon

supervisorctl
start horizon

With this, I could reingest from ledger 2 to 8. Ledger 1 refuses to be ingested. Is this normal behaviour ?

Ledger 1 is pregenerated and not available, starting from ledger 2.  pid=2558 service=ingest

That's normal. Ledger 1 is the genesis ledger.
