Research direction

Start with the quickstart image configuration and trace how CATCHUP_COMPLETE is consumed. Determine how a setting could select complete versus partial history, then verify that the image starts with the requested history range and no longer returns the shown before_history response.

Description

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!
