https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud This blog post is from last year. I didn’t see any mention here; I think Oracle as a hosting company is off the radar for most people. So, before I posted I decided to try it myself to see if it’s really viable.…

WARNING: Discourse requires 1GB RAM to run. This system does not appear to have sufficient memory. Your site may not work properly, or future upgrades of Discourse may not complete successfully. Can not install.

You aren’t really telling us anything useful for us to be able to help you. The free tier has 1GB of RAM which is adequate, is that what you’re installing on?

Yea, i’m using free tier: [image] But check on cli is not 1GB: [image] Don’t know why.

Seems strange as when using Digital Ocean it’s telling me it requires 2.

No; I haven’t paid anything as I deleted my instances but free credits were taken off of my account and this shouldn’t of happened.

Yep! Seems to be working now, https://discourse.work is online.

How would you enable swap for that?

Discourse-setup automatically creates a swap file.

It will enable swap on a 1GB server, but either way you need 1GB of RAM.
