Here’s the RAM and swap info. It is a vanilla newly launched AWS instance with all standard ubuntu updates it’s a EC2 - t2.small instance. Nothing was changed, added, configured or modified. Only commands used to update before installing were basic sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade 3rd timed I tried the vanilla discourse install on two separate instances same OS (Ubuntu 20.04.3). That is why I am under the belief that there may be something wrong with the installer and the recent version.
