thank you! but the processing speed is so slow, 12 hours for 2.4 million blocks on my computer. By this speed, it will take a week to get the whole chain.

May I ask what content the indexer is processing? because the postgresql database is empty after processing so many blocks, and the indexer data directory is only 28MB.
