Haven’t heard that before, have been able to do successful console rebuild with a 1GB ram server, but some of the UX updater attempts have failed.

Adding swap for memory instead of ram could help.

The newer current version of discourse may need more memory than previous ones to work well, since they wrote there have been some/many recent significant changes to the core system.
