[setting up a snapchain] "why are you making me use docker do you hate me?" *10 min later after setting up docker, scrolls down the readme* "god i wish i could read" -- it's just cargo run

i love rust! it's one of my favs! my issue was i am on aws linux which doesn't come with docker preinstalled, and if i had scrolled down the readme earlier i could've just done rustup and ran the damn thing!!! i would've also added a progress bar tbh...

have you setup one of these yet or still using hubs?

We run both! It's a great way to learn so many great technologies.

idk how it is on your end but the initial backfill seems to be ~6x slower than a hub for me, so it's a rough start!! you might not be creating from scratch often though, i am on cloud instances i spin down quickly after pulling data

You should enable snapshot data. Are you trying to backfill into Postgres?

i am simply a man trying to run an instance so i can pull data using grpc, i'm just running the setup script and trying to get up to date

Nice! Me too. When you get caught up to the most recent block, you might be interested in using Waypoint to read from Snapchain. https://github.com/officialunofficial/waypoint

very very cool!!! def checking out next time (i moved to setting up a hub instead and it's almost done) -- but rad! the MM snapchain docs are very very "get started in one command!" which is cool but i wish it was more focused on ease of use like this

Hubs will be EOL very soon, fyi. Maybe I’ll bundle Snapchain into Waypoint so newcomers don’t have to think about it. 🤔

look i'll be honest with you: i only do fc stuff when i'm high, drunk, or playing marvel rivals -- so any <300 char "how to get going fast" would go viral with the audience of me
