Hi Denis,

I will focus on provide you info about how to increase RSS for Sidekiq.

For this, have a look to the `UNICORN_SIDEKIQ_MAX_RSS` environment variable (ffi: [discourse/config/unicorn.conf.rb at 89d7b1861d1625352e82e82c19f93e7272c965ef · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/89d7b1861d1625352e82e82c19f93e7272c965ef/config/unicorn.conf.rb#L134)) (e.g., `UNICORN_SIDEKIQ_MAX_RSS: 1000`) so this will allow you use allocate more memory. In any case, I recommend you decrease a bit the `UNICORN_SIDEKIQS` value to 1 or 2, unless you have several jobs been enqueued up for long.

I unknow what can be the cause of your sidekiq’s reboots though, normally it just reboots on the background after OOM (according to [discourse/config/unicorn.conf.rb at 89d7b1861d1625352e82e82c19f93e7272c965ef · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/89d7b1861d1625352e82e82c19f93e7272c965ef/config/unicorn.conf.rb#L163-L168)), but check `your-forum.com/logs` for more info, hope this helps.

Cheers,  
Ismael
