This is incorrect advice.

OP is referring to the Digital Ocean “pre-configured” Discourse instance. That is locked at 2GB for political reasons because they don’t want people using swapfiles.

Just follow our [official install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide, then you can select 1GB RAM droplet which works perfectly fine, and enable a swapfile, which will only really be touched during upgrades when there is crazy memory churn.

512mb is NEVER supported and SHOULD NOT be used.
