Hi, my old container still works, but i’m having trouble rebuilding. The same error appeared on both attempts before and after updating the ubuntu kernel by apt upgrade regardless of the implementation of this

Remove discourse reactions from the explicit clone (Announcement here: Bundling more popular plugins with Discourse core)

So this was a standard install and you created the app.yml with discourse-setup? What error do you get when you rebuild?

[image] pfaffman: WIth 8GB you shouldn’t need swap Well, I needed. Perhaps a giga would be enough, but I gave 2 GB. [image] Rebuild fails with exit 1: ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL Support I had feeling I’ve seen this before. I had 8 GB RAM and swap is 2 GB — how much do I really need nowadays, if that comes from lack of memory?

[image] pfaffman: this was a standard install and you created the app.yml with discourse-setup? yes i installed docker through .\discourse-setup

[image] pfaffman: What error do you get when you rebuild? i’ll reply here if i get a rebuild error after the already set up swap

Did you make it permanent? [image] How To Add Swap Space on Ubuntu | DigitalOcean Learn how to add swap space on Ubuntu using a swap file, with step-by-step commands, swappiness tuning, troubleshooting, and best practices. See Step 5.

[image] merefield: See Step 5. do i perform step 5 in isolation, or do i need to do the previous steps again?

It looks like you missed out “stage 5”, but I would go through the whole thing and check.

In this topic, I think the real issue was the deprecated plugin. I probably won’t go through DigitalOcean’s procedure, but someone else can. :slightly_smiling_face:

rebuilding without swap is not pleasant and risky.
