Hi,
I’m running a Droplet on Ubuntu 22.10 with 2GB of RAM. I learned about zram the other day, and it seemed like a good thing to try. I ran: apt install zram-config
and it seemed to install successfully, but the test to see if it’s working (cat /proc/swaps
) doesn’t show anything. Does this not work on DigitalOcean?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi there,
It sounds like that you’ve only installed the zram-config but not the actual Kernel module. Can you confirm which guide did you follow?
If you check your logs do you see any errors:
sudo journalctl -u zram-config.service -e
