There is a way to export the genesis file from a running Opera node:

opera --datadir=demo/opera1.datadir export genesis my-genesis-file.g

However this will not help you to start your own new network.

As stated in https://github.com/Fantom-foundation/lachesis_launch/blob/master/docs/launch-private-network.md :

Launching a production private network involves generation of a custom genesis file.

Once genesis file is in place, all the instructions for Opera mainnet/testnet will apply to your private network with the only exception that users have to use the custom genesis file instead of Opera mainnet or testnet genesis files.

Currently, there's no tool for generation of a go-opera genesis file. If you're looking to implement one yourself, check out the functions https://github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-opera/blob/9f7c98f501143b5775a34796b34c9495473bf8d1/opera/genesisstore/dump.go#L71 and https://github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-opera/blob/9f7c98f501143b5775a34796b34c9495473bf8d1/integration/makegenesis/genesis.go#L44.
