Hi Folks,

I am going to install Discourse on Digital Ocean. Just figured out that they have a [One-click install](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3nFLrQj_jo) through their own panel. I also noticed [this tutorial](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) by Docker.

Which one do you recommend? First one seems more seamless. Am I wrong?

If you want to work on a 1GB droplet, then follow our install guide. If you are OK with a 2GB RAM droplet, use the one-click install.

(tl;dr swapfiles are generally disallowed on cloud services, for political reasons. We don’t actually need 2GB to run, but during web upgrades, you may briefly exceed 1GB RAM usage.)
