Hi i have set up discourse now (working) but i get the “502 Bad Gateway” error often, and the site is very slow? How to fix this problem in the best way?:s [Gatewayerror]

Do you have a spinning disk or very little ram?

my Discourse is on VPS here is the VPS data CPU Cores 1 Total CPU Speed 2.4Ghz Memory 1Gb Disk Space 20Gb

I still get the 502 Bad Gateway error sometimes. :frowning: any ideas how to fix this issue? [Gatewayerror2]

Generic Unix server performance guides can help diagnose, but you may have too little RAM for the current load.

Did you let discourse-setup create swap? Do you have plugins installed?

no, that was the issue, my VPS provider didnt allow me to execute the command “swapon /swapfile” but somehow i did install docker without it, and then i just “nano containers/app.yml” with all the data, and then ran “./launcher start app”… Yes i have some plugins installed also.

So discourse-setup warned you that you didn’t have enough ram and you were clever enough I bypass that warning. And the docs say that you need swap of you have less than two gb. Even with 2gb, without swap, you’ll likely have trouble when you rebuild to do an upgrade.

idk, 1 only have 1 GIG Ram on my VPS, (as i mentioned in the earlier post). so i need to fix the swap and the docker? Right Any useful commands i can use then? (i be grateful for any help) thank you

Self-hosting I bought a Ubuntu 18.04, 64bit VPS from Hostinger and I’m trying to install discourse but keep getting this error: [image] So your vps might not have full virtualization, and it might be easier to change hosting provider, getting ahead of future problems.

[image] ignatus: my VPS provider didnt allow me to execute the command “swapon /swapfile” Contact them and get that resolved. However, many VPS providers just don’t want you to do that since it wears out their SSD drives too quickly.

No, there is no other way to fix the issue. You need swap.
