My question is simple I wanted to extract a somename.tar.7z compressed file in my droplet but it says it run out of memory, something like that ( I have a $5/mo droplet)
Is it possible to use an alternative of p7zip-full because I really wanted .tar.7z files, they are really tiny and easy to upload from my local computer to droplet.
