I've now done this on CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Unbuntu 20.04, Fedora 31, and Fedora 32.
I've had the same issues with ANY online compute, Vultr, Liquid Web, AWS, etc. I get a successful install ONLY from hyper-v on my own servers with Ubuntu 19.10. But, it sends and doesn't receive.

I am a developer with Skyetel and would like to try to help resolve some of these upgrade issues you and others are encountering. If you can please message me some additional details
Send me your Skyetel email address and I'll send you the url and my tel number.

@JaredBusch What size instance did you use? Please remember that Postcards requires 2GB of Ram (we recommend 4).

This page does not state that.

Yea, docker and the like are resource heavy. Also - for large deployments the DB can start using a lot of RAM.

The theory behind them being acceptable is that they are so light as to be almost unnoticed.
We'd LOVE to see anything but Docker for deployments. Nothing wrong with Docker, but so much better when it's an option.

For scaling up, there are all kinds of considerations, sure.
But we are simply trying to test this thing.

Exact same error.
CentOS 8 on a $10 Vultr Instance (2GB RAM) and I made a 2GB swapfile also.

Use 7. 8 needs some tweaking still.

I did, 3 days ago.

@JaredBusch Did you give it the 2/4GB of RAM?
FWIW - We are updating the installation script to work with Centos 8.

No, that was not. So I am doing it again now.

Well, I refuse to use CentOS 7 in production. That is ancient history with so many components out of support.

It doesn't work with CentOS 7 either...
Your devs need to not assume shit when you write tools for public consumption.
You have to start with the least common denominator. In the case of CentOS 7, that would be a minimal install. Doing anything else is simply asking for problems.
I can fix this. but yeah.....
yum install -y net-tools

@Skyetel So there it goes. CentOS 7 using a $10 instance on Vultr.
I will now test this out. But the monthly cost to just have this is DOUBLE the cost to run my PBX with 96 extensions and 8-11 simultaneous calls going in/out the trunk, and some amount of extension to extension calls always also. That runs just fine in a $5 instance.

This is pretty useless if I cannot have more than one number active to a user.
If live, all but one of these numbers will go to a single user that is going to be responsible to reply.
But when I sent a text to a second number, I cannot reply to it.
-
Sending to the primary number, I have a reply box still.

@JaredBusch I think this is expected behavior and is by design.
I'll have @cody hop on now and take a look

Might be intended by developers, but it is useless for production.

We added a troubleshooting section to the Postcards Documentation:
https://bitbucket.org/skyetel/postcards-installer/src/master/README.mdIf you can send but not receive messages, please check the Callback URL matches your Phonenumber's Callback URL, which might have changed. Also check that the Callback URL is using the correct http(s) protocol, if you aren't using SSL.
Also please verify that we can send a POST request to your Callback URL and that it isn't getting blocked by a firewall.
