> What's the relation between proxies and accounts? Do you need an account to handle proxies?

I'm trying to build an all in one proxy printing experience, where you can track and share decklists for every card game.

I'm keeping the account requirement for now, sorry if that means you want to use the service, but can't

This is a fantastic idea. Focusing on printing/cutting optimizations rn. I want to sell custom perforated paper so anyone with any printer can just print and separate the cards!

email me (in profile) if you wanna stay in touch when this goes live

Its definitely is an 'is pepsi ok' experience. Not as polished as Sentry.

I set it up as an accessory with this config:

  openobserve:
    proxy:
      ssl: true
      host: [url-redacted]
      app_port: 5080
      healthcheck:
        path: /
        interval: 1
        timeout: 5
    image: public.ecr.aws/zinclabs/openobserve:latest
    host: 178.156.134.191
    port: "5080:5080"
    env:
      clear:
        ZO_DATA_DIR: "/openobserve_data"
      secret:
        - ZO_ROOT_USER_EMAIL
        - ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD
    directories:
      - openobserve_data:/openobserve_data


IMO, pepsi is totally ok when its essentially free

Without a playset of Bonfire & Wanted, thats for sure!

Thank you! This is nice, but looks like just Pokémon.

You don't have to pay a tax to render.com! You can just buy a linux box and be off to the races.

Will Limitlesstcg let you print proxys? That's the main thing I'm doing here.

The joy of proxies is you can do whatever you want! My take was to not make these seem as real as possible, and one where you can print on demand.

Imagine a proxy only tournament of any card game, where you have to submit your decklist ahead of time and it is waiting for you when you arrive, ready to play and keep.

but IANAL and would love to hear from any that might read this.

Yeah I wonder why https://scryfall.com/ never gets a C&D.

I think the problem is money changing hands which isn't happening.

The red bordered cards are the ones I just printed, real cards are on the right. Also all are US sized, the real yugioh cards are slightly smaller than that.

I tried to get a couple diff angles and card types. Like I said, totally good enough for my use cases!

great point-

bot protection is enabled in clerk, where email registration is not.

The only way I'm showing people this website is a personal text or this hacker news post, which I would hope gives enough context.

I didn't add any restrictions on email registration because I hear you that actually creating an account can be a chore. Exposing web services to the public internet without auth seems scary, which is why I rarely do it.
