I’m in the process of moving to a new Droplet using this guide [image] Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync Sysadmins This method is different than restoring file in UI. Maybe there is a more downtime but it’s simpler for linux folks without Discourse knowledge and it’s easy to automate. Prepare new VPS First, prepare our new Current Ubuntu LTS VPS with empty Discourse dir, OS upgrade and Docker install sudo mkdir -p /var/discourse sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh Then, make sure that we are on latest installed kernel and other libraries by just restarting … I’ve gotten to where I need to rebuild, and it goes along fine for a while before getting here: 110:M 21 Dec 2023 17:29:25.029 * Background saving started by pid 2933 2933:C 21 Dec 2023 17:29:25.583 * DB saved on disk 2933:C 21 Dec 2023 17:29:25.590 * Fork CoW for RDB: current 1 MB, peak 1 MB, average 0 MB 110:M 21 Dec 2023 17:29:25.632 * Background saving terminated with success Looking at older posts which mention this issue, most of the suggestions center around rebooting your VPS and retrying the command.

This droplet is 2G RAM / 50G disk running Ubuntu 23.10 x64. The rsync command seemed to run as expected. Thank you!

I think error 137 is not enough memory. Do you have enough swap set up?

Hanging on app rebuild

Argh this was it, I had not set up swap. Thank you, all is well now.
