# Sourcing Data

The Solana ledger is absolutely massive. In CAR format&#x20;

&#x20;Understanding the requirements of your use-case and what data you require is a critical first step to provisioning an Old Faithful installation.

There are several places you can get data from, each with their own varying degrees of complexity and hardware requirements.

## OF1&#x20;

Triton One provides a complete copy of all the files required to run Old Faithful, called OF1.&#x20;

This archive is currently completely free to use, and is a great way to get started with Old Faithful.&#x20;

Read more about OF1 [here](/running-old-faithful/sourcing-data/of1.md).

## Generating from RocksDB

Solana warehouse nodes archive the network ledger in a format called [RocksDB](https://rocksdb.org/). These archives can be used with the Yellowstone `radiance` fork to generate Old Faithful compatible CAR's.
