Error upgrading to 3.3.0-beta6 because of yarn timeout

Ok, fixed as per Stuck on yarn install, Time out.

For reference, in /var/discourse/templates/web.template.yml I added this block:

  - exec:
      cd: $home
      cmd:
       - su discourse -c 'yarn config set network-timeout 600000 -g'

before this one is called:

  - exec:
      cd: $home
      hook: yarn
      cmd:
        - |-
          if [ "$version" != "tests-passed" ]; then
            rm -rf app/assets/javascripts/node_modules
          fi
        - su discourse -c 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn cache clean'

But why does it time-out? The solution on the linked topic states that it’s because of the small server specs (Google e2.micro instance, 2 cores, 1 GB RAM). But this is a 4 cores, 6GB VPS.
