Introducing Postcards - Our SMS & MMS UI

This new version is a disaster and I also think Skyetel has issues at their end.
The upgrade install work fine, but it will no longer receive the PUSH from Skyetel, so you don't get any replies from the phones.
If you change the phone number a user is assigned to, they can no longer send sms messages to any number they have previously sent sms to: "The phone number you used - 1xxxyyyzzzz - is no longer your primary phone number."
If you try to delete a user, well, it won't delete
Also, all of the above applies even on a fresh install of the Postcards, or a fresh install of the Ubuntu OS and Postcards.
So sad......
If anyone has the first version running, can you check your Skyetel SMS CallBack URL and post it? Please obscure your domain and your unique id.
I'm pretty sure the previous version had the work skyetel in the callback url, this version does not.....

If you can please message me some additional details (phonenumber, domain) for your app that is failing to receive messages, I can check our logs and debug it further.
Also, the app can be downgraded to the previous version with the following command as the super user in the root directory and re-running/re-configuring the app.
curl https://bitbucket.org/skyetel/postcards-installer/get/v0.2.2.tar.gz | tar xvz --strip 1 -C /opt/postcards --overwrite -

Spinning up a CentOS 7 instance now.
I assume I need to use a bigger instance, as I used the $3.50 instance for testing.
@Skyetel @cody I will nuke this and start over on a $5 instance.
FYI I will not run this in production though. CentOS 7 is way too old for me to use in production without a very good reason.

@scottalanmiller this thread needs tags.

Again failed.
It seems it is impossible to simply install this application in the current form.

@Skyetel your instructions are linking in an infintie loop.

Same error on Ubuntu
I've now done this on CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Unbuntu 20.04, Fedora 31, and Fedora 32.
@Skyetel this has been a huge waste of time.

Let’s table this till next week. I’ll have one of our other engineers update the install script to be more inclusive for Operating Systems.

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.

@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.
