# Generating from RocksDB

Old Faithful uses the `radiance` tool from the Firedancer team to provide an interface to the RocksDB Solana ledger archives.

We have forked the project to add the ability to generate a full CAR, you will need to download and build the binaries in order to generate CAR's that are compatible with Old Faithful.

The radiance tool utilizes the RocksDB snapshots generated by [Warehouse](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-bigtable) nodes. From these snapshots, a CAR file per epoch is generated.

### Filecoin Considerations

If you intend to host this car in Filecoin, you'll need to have it processed by Filecoin tools such as [split-and-commp](https://github.com/rpcpool/go-fil-dataprep/) which will then create the necessary metadata for making the filecoin deal.
