I am in a similar situation. I’ve created a 2GB droplet with Discourse on DigitalOcean. I have this warning when I start the Droplet:

```
WARNING: Discourse requires at least 2GB of swap when running with 2GB of RAM
or less. This system does not appear to have sufficient swap space.

```

But the DigitalOcean documentation is recommending to not create SWAP space for a droplet using a SSD. And mine is using a SSD (like all droplets I guess).

So I am confused about what should I do. What would you recommend?
