I’ve had several two-container bootstraps fail today with errors like ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL Command was killed with SIGKILL (Forced termination): ember build -prod"] I think once I added swap and had it work the next time. But this has 4GB swap: # free -h total …

I have some kind of memory leak/expansion on one of my servers. At @RGJ ’s sensible suggestion I cron schedule a reboot every 7 days early Monday AM (W. Europe) (We believe we know the plugin with the issue but I’ve not invested the time to work out why there is a memory leak/expansion)

Out of memory on rebuild with 4GB swap?

Also check that you have enabled overcommit.
