Whole machine hangs during upgrade

Thanks, guys, I’ll google how to do this and then do it :slight_smile:.

Update 1

I’ve now added 8 GiB of swap:

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.8Gi       290Mi       2.9Gi       1.0Mi       677Mi       3.3Gi
Swap:          8.0Gi          0B       8.0Gi

I’ll post an update here after some next upgrades whether this helped.

Update 2

Just did an /admin/upgrade and monitored the RAM usage:

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.8Gi       1.4Gi       1.5Gi        50Mi       891Mi       2.0Gi
Swap:          8.0Gi       200Mi       7.8Gi

And the upgrade ran through successfully. :tada: Hope this stays the way.

Update 3

Several days and upgrades later, I never experienced a hang again.

So I do think the swap was the solution. Thanks again to anyone helping me on this issue.
