No matter how many times I try to update, I always get Sorry, there was an error updating Discourse. Please check the logs below. when updating via the browser. I always have to rely on Terminal and that isn’t good, because then I will always have to have my forum down for like 30 minutes. If anyon…

Updates After a few conversations with Claude, here’s what’s happening: I initially had this sudo swapon --show NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /swapfile file 2G 1G -2 That was still causing the error. So I was able to increase it to 4GB, I believe: sudo swapon --show NAME TYPE SIZE …

[圖片] alltiagocom: Anyway, I now at least understand that a swapfile is related to disk space, not RAM. I’m using DigitalOcean’s droplet 1GB RAM, 25GB disk. A swapfile is a way to use some of your disk space as very, very slow RAM, so it’s related to both disk space and RAM. 25GB is just bare…

[圖片] pfaffman: A swapfile is a way to use some of your disk space as very, very slow RAM, so it’s related to both disk space and RAM. What I meant was that, when I saw discussions about it, when people said “create a 2GB swapfile” I thought it was related to the amount of RAM, so in my case, …

[圖片] alltiagocom: before each update, even when using the admin panel to update, I should run ./launcher cleanup via Terminal? No. Using the admin panel doesn’t make docker make more images it’s not using, but you may not have enough memory (ram plus swap) to do the upgrade from the admin pan…

This is all a bit confusing to me… Some people said they were having the same issue as me, and creating the 2GB swapfile helped them. I now created the 4GB swapfile, but that was after I updated, so I will have to wait for another update to test it. So, for example, if I upgrade to 2GB of RAM woul…

1GB machine with 4GB swap should be enough. I would personally recommend at least 2GB with 2GB swap to start with but you meet the published minimum requirements of a standard install . I would move on and use it and only upgrade if you find things are too slow. You should have no problems with me…

[圖片] pfaffman: may not have enough memory (ram plus swap) Except, as you said, HDD will be full quite fast, and cleanup is must to do no matter how much there is RAM.

Thanks. For now I just want to start adding content and add some users until it makes sense to upgrade. Off-topic, but still related to the disk space: when I was going through everything, I noticed that I was using around 18GB and when I asked ChatGPT, it said it was normal that Discourse takes th…

I’m not going to debate with your robot. You are correct that the 4GB will come out of your available disk space (of course).

I just checked all folders and noticed that 12GB are being used by this folder: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/ What is this and is it possible to reduce it by maybe removing files that are not necessary?
