High rebuild memory requirements: April 2025 edition

Ok, next test completed.

I built with the following plugins:

https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-data-explorer
https://github.com/communiteq/discourse-legal-compliance
https://github.com/pfaffman/discourse-allow-pm-to-staff
https://github.com/singerscreations/discourse-stopforumspam
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-cakeday

Swap was disabled, so only 4GiB/3.8GB RAM.

Maximum memory usage during build was 3.4GB. Build time was 6m 48s.

On my way the problem is swap file, after increasing from 0 to 2GB, everything is okay for now.

sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile        
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

in the your server terminal. After that, rebuild.
