The single login per computer is probably pretty easy to change, and I can add that to the change request.

Seems like this died on the vine 😞

I would love to make use of this if the issues raised above were resolved.

Still preferred fallocate instead of dd to create a swap file?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile count=4096 bs=1MiB && chmod 600 /swapfile && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile && echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0">>/etc/fstab

Still using swap file? Memory is cheap. I don't recall a server where I created swap partition or swap file.

Memory is NOT cheap, not at all.

It is if you own it. If you rent your hardware, yeah, it adds up.

Even if I own it, throwing away 2-3GB of RAM makes no sense. Now, if I own it, I can easily assign 4GB of RAM then remove it once installed, by why? That's harder to script and still no benefit.

It's a bad habit to see resources as cheap and so waste them just because you can. Extra memory doesn't improve performance, it hurts it (just the tiniest bit). And it's not free, if you always apply twice as much RAM as you use (or four times, here), that gets costly one way or another. Either you wasted money overspeccing in the beginning, or you are stuck buying more now.

@JasGot said in Skyetel Postcards Redirect Issue:

I believe ./run.sh restarts all services, and I suspect that includes Nginx.

Yes, Nginx is inside a Docker container. But there are three.

All you need is...

systemctl start docker systemctl enable docker

And you are good to go. It's just a process that needs to be started like any other. There's nothing to know about Docker in this instance. Think of it as the server itself, it just needs to be turned on.

@JasGot

Have you checked your LE credentials to see that its working properly?

Not sure how. The only sign of LE I can find in the OS or the Docker is a file called letsencrypt_services_data
I can't find a conf file or a binary to do a manual run of LE.

There is a current issue with the SSL let's encrypt that I just submitted to them to resolve (they are using an outdated version with Acme 1 instead of the newer Acme 2):

FYI - we've resolved the issue, and I can only assume anyone else that has installed Postcards should have the same issue.

The problem is indeed an issue with Let's Encrypt, and specifically:

docker: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion

To fix this issue, please update the docker-compose.override.yml file during builds.

Row 35 should read: image: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:latest

This will insure that the current version for the let's encrypt proxy is called and eliminate the issue.

Just an FYI, I followed the guide using CentOS 7 Server and it installed no hiccups. It's up and working now, first try. Don't think that the docs have changed.
