I recently installed Discourse again, but in Hetzner servers. Now I have 4GB of RAM and 40GB of space. By default it created the 2GB swap file [image] Is that enough?

Watch it using htop during a build. Probably enough.

Which Linux distro did you use for the install on the servers? I would have recommended using a swapfile instead of a swap partition. Swapfiles are the default nowadays on most distros and are more flexible in terms of adjusting the swappiness.

I don’t believe a swap partition was mentioned? [imagen] alltiagocom: it created the 2GB swap file I think 2GB swap + 4GB RAM is enough. I don’t think you’d need more swap unless you’re running other stuff on your server as well.

My apologies, you are correct. Should have made sure to drink more coffee before replying :wink:

It depends how much there in plugins in use, AI etc. For me 4+2 wasn’t enough.

I’m not an expert so I just took some screenshot along the way: [SCR-20251221-ilhi] [SCR-20251221-imkv] This was right after it completed: [SCR-20251221-imvf] Then, I let it run for a little bit longer, because I was seeing the 0 and 1 bars (I’ assuming those are the cores?) both hitting around…

@NateDhaliwal and @Rubi I didn’t do anything myself, it created it automatically, so I’m assuming it’s swapfile? I just followed the official instructions to install and let it do its thing. Hope that clarifies? @Jagster I don’t have a lot of stuff. No AI, at least not that I installed anything mys…

Yep, it is a swapfile. IIRC a change was made earlier this year to create a swapfile if under 5GB RAM (I think it used to be 1 GB?).

Clearly enough, plenty of spare capacity, you are good to go :+1:

[imagen] merefield: Watch it using htop during a build. I might give this a go myself next time. Do you just open a separate terminal window and type htop? Any recommended options? I’ll do an internet search for more general information about it.

¿Debería aumentar el archivo de intercambio de 2GB?

Obsérvalo usando htop durante una compilación. Probablemente sea suficiente.
