Hi, I’ve recently installed Discourse on my own VPS. I have only 2 GB of RAM. Is this sufficient to run a forum in production? There have been times where I got a 502 gateway error which maybe due to lack of memory. Sometimes, after installing a plugin, I have to refresh my admin panel several time…

How much RAM is required for Discourse?

Oh. Don’t do that. Or ask them why your performance sucks.
