Hi! I am running an Ubuntu 18.04 server with Apache installed. I am wanting to install Discourse on a different port then use a reverse proxy via apache to make it accessible via a URL.

Are the current application using all available memory and swappiness configured to never happen? Since I don’t see any other reports I think it’s something on your server.

Hi! I have 8GB memory, 10 GB swap. Im running ./launcher rebuild app and the RAM is sat at 3.4GB RAM and no swap. Im using htop and swap just says OK/10.00G. Not sure if this means swap is working or not.

on HTOP swap says OK/10.00G. Not sure what this means. And the RAM is sat at 3.4G ish whilst running ./launcher rebuild app.
