Hello, all
What I would usually do if I’m getting that error on a Droplet with 1GB of RAM, is to add swap space, that way you would have some extra buffer in case that your RAM is fully exhausted.
You can follow the steps on how to do that here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex

I don’t know how but for some reason it started working automatically. I guess, Swap did the trick but responded late.
