Each region gets a dial, its time and its name, ranked by offset — earliest on the left, latest on the right — around the reference below, which therefore sits in the middle. The face of each dial is that city’s actual sky, shaded from the sun’s height above its horizon: the zenith at the top, the horizon at the bottom, so the warmth of a sunset stays low on the dial while the top has already turned to night. There are no steps — the colour moves with the sun, and follows the season and the latitude, so a northern winter afternoon reads as dusk while the tropics are still in daylight. The time turns green between 18:00 and 01:00 locally, the hours when players come to the tables. A weekday is appended where the region has already rolled over, and hovering a dial gives its phase and the sun’s altitude. Up to 12 regions, plus the reference, which is always shown whether or not it is ticked. This server’s own clock is not here — it heads the status list under Health & logs. Applies immediately (no restart needed).

Bridges are players whose game traffic goes through this proxy; notices are lightweight channels (players connected straight to pokerth.net, or training) that only receive broadcasts. Connections from the /live spectator view are tagged and counted apart.

Players can switch the reporting off in Advanced options; nothing but the error itself, the build, the device and a masked IP is ever sent. Errors from search-engine crawlers are kept but marked Bot only (or incl. bots): none of them reaches a player. Each error carries a colour by type: script error (an exception in the client), rejection (a promise nobody caught), load failure (one of our files did not arrive), recovered (an automatic retry worked) and diagnostic (the probe that tells why a file failed).

One vote per device per track, deduplicated on a salted hash of the same anonymous id used by the visit counter — no IP, no nickname, no listening time. Blind is the default: a player sees their own thumb but not the totals, so the figures on screen cannot sway the answer. Radios are votable, unlike plays.

The proxy is the only reader: it fetches the JSON counters the official site publishes once per interval and serves every player from that one copy, so the upstream sees one request per interval instead of one per open tab, and the browser never reaches another origin. The line hides itself whenever the answer is unusable (counters flagged stale, address unreachable, feature off here), leaving the card exactly as it was.

Each player sees the version matching their language (fallback below; missing languages are auto-translated on the client). Every language comes with a built-in text, shown pre-filled below: a language you edit replaces its built-in version, the others keep theirs.

The PokerTH protocol carries no time, so the instant comes from this server and the zone from the setting below. Default uses SERVER_TZ if set, else Berlin (Europe/Berlin), like the desktop client. Players can hide the clock in their advanced options.

The proxy is the only reader: one round reads the five community pages (bbc, wec, monthlycup, pokerth.net) and every player is served from that one copy; an expired copy is served at once while the next round runs, and a round where every site failed keeps the previous answer and is not retried for a minute. Turned off, the proxy reads nothing.

Off forces the matching option off in every client: its checkbox in Advanced options goes unticked, frozen and labelled “off (admin)”. Players keep their own preference stored, so it takes effect again the moment the feature is back on. A client picks the change up when it next loads the page; what only runs at startup (splash screen, back-button guard) follows from the visit after.

The page gains a description, Open Graph / Twitter cards, a canonical link, structured data (JSON-LD) and a crawler-readable summary, and robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt are generated from the public URL below.

Indexing on, the public URL, PokerTH as the site name, AI crawlers allowed, and the branding overrides left empty so each language keeps its own translated title and description. Your Search Console, Bing and Yandex tokens are not touched — they belong to your accounts, not to the preset.

The title and description are already translated into every interface language, and an override replaces the translation in all of them with the single line you write here. They exist so a self-hosted server can appear under its own name.

It writes an explicit Disallow for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and the others, and llms.txt stops being served — staying silent under a blanket Allow reads as consent. It is a request, not a wall: well-behaved crawlers honour it, others do not.

Reads are not logged: the dashboard polls itself every few seconds and would drown everything. Tokens themselves are never recorded, only the name they carry. A restart does not erase the log.

A ban refuses the WebSocket upgrade — the page still loads, but no game connection is made through this proxy — and drops any bridge already open from it.

pokerth.net, www.pokerth.net, pthsrv.pokerth.net, localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1, plus those of the ALLOWED_HOSTS variable, the registered game servers and the servers approved in the LAN directory — the full list is under Game servers › Effective dial allowlist.

Rolling back checks the chosen commit out again — the quickest way out when a deploy breaks the client. With restart also reinstalls dependencies, then restarts. The state you are on now is recorded first, so you can always come back forward. With Update automatically on, the version you stepped back from is left alone until a newer one is published (a fix, typically); an update made by hand goes forward at once.

The dashboard settings: modes, defaults, branding, table settings, proxy, game servers, LAN directory, kill switches, bans, package and music choices, SEO. Not included: traffic figures, scheduled messages, polls, the audit log and the deployment history (each kept in its own file), delegate keys and database credentials (secrets — restoring a backup must not hand back access you thought you had revoked). The Discord webhook and the contact details of pending LAN requests are left out unless you tick the box; restoring a file without them keeps their current values. Restoring replaces the current settings.

Official-server parity (DiscordChatWebhookUrl). Game chat and private messages are never relayed. One post per message — no duplicates however many clients are connected.

The active poll opens in a window when a player reaches the lobby (unless they turned “Product polls” off in Advanced options); one answer per device. The counts stay hidden until they have answered, so the figures on screen cannot sway the vote.

Players can edit the fields, and the server they last joined is remembered. The Internet button is never affected.

Automatic uses this page’s own address (port 7234, no TLS). Forced uses the host, port and TLS below; the proxy then follows that host and is rebuilt on every reconnect, so the client always reconnects. Only players who never picked a server of their own follow a change made here. A forced proxy URL (ws:// or wss://) is pushed to every client and locks the field; hiding the field removes it and its label from the login form.

Only the Arena has an API; this web client exposes nothing for it and makes no key. On the Arena: /arena/organize › Web client (super admin) shows the link key. Here: its address (like https://arena.example.org, no path) and that key, then Test and save. This web client then sends the Arena, with the key, its public address (Admin › SEO, else the address you use now), the servers it may use (the LAN directory and the local server) every minute, and the community events every five minutes. The players’ witness reports from the table are relayed to the Arena’s API through this site. A new key on the Arena cuts the link until it is pasted here. Tournaments, cups, accounts and the Arena’s settings are managed on the Arena’s organizer page.

The game-server registry is not touched. What the requester wrote for the admins (nickname, note, contact) is never shown to players; the contact is erased as soon as you approve or reject, the note becomes the server’s internal note. No IP is kept (only a salted hash, to count requests from one address over 30 days).

Refusing private addresses only makes sense off when this proxy runs on the same network as the servers. “Local server” is the address the LAN form used before the directory (the default login form, else this page’s host on port 7234): keep it on a self-hosted install, turn it off on pokerth.net. Manual entry lets a player type an address instead of picking one; addresses outside the allowlist are still refused.
