Chirpstack Simulator dont work

I am facing with the same issue this man has:

Not sending uplinks after start up of simulator

opened 11:34AM - 20 Apr 21 UTC

This doesn't seem to be sending uplinks after start up and creation of devices/g…ateways/application. Watching the gateway logs (GUI) show that nothing goes up. I can see no inidication in any other network or application server logs of attempted uplinks either. Should I see anything in the output if a 'send' is being attempted? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :pray: ### Host System Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo) Running in Virtual Box ### Chirpstack network Running as docker containers # Output

I thought it best to avoid adding to it, however, since it wasn't seeing any activity.

Simulator adds devices and keeps silent, it does not simulate the uplinks. Can you help ?
