Hi,
I successfully set up the 1-Click droplet for Ghost. It runs fine, Ghost Doctor doesn’t show any errors. However, the site goes down every few days and shows a 502 Bad Gateway error. As soon as I restart Ghost in the console it starts working again. I doubt it has anything to do with memory as content and traffic is still low/limited. I use Cloudflare for DNS/CDN. Ghost log -f only shows a “cookie members ssr not found” warning, which doesn’t seem to be the issue. sudo nginx -t says “ok” and “successful”.
Can someone please help or point me in the correct direction? Thanks.

Hi there @apoeschl,
It looks like that your Ghost service might be crashing, how much RAM do you have on your Droplet?
I could suggest checking your system logs and possibly adding a little bit more RAM and a SWAP file:

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
