I would like to install my first own Discourse forum on my own cloud server. So far I have only ever worked with managed servers. I would like to stay with Hetzner. Can anyone tell me which server is suitable for a Discourse forum? Cloud-hosting provider for developers & teams Cloud-hosting provider for developers & teams. Scalable cloud hosting services – join 400,000+ customers ✓ GDPR-compliant Better Shared vCPU (x86) or Shared vCPU (Arm64) or directly a Dedicated vCPU?

[image] wizible: Shared vCPU (x86) This one, but you might need 8GB now for online upgrades :sweat_smile: (I just had a failed online upgrade today with a 4GB server (+ 2GB swap).) Maybe I just need more swap …

Thank you. So you think, the minimum i need is CX31, is that right? [image]

Or the 4GB server with 4GB swap …

No I think it’s just bad luck. It’s almost certainly occurring at assets compilation.

Sorry, what does “4GB swap” mean?
