My website goes down , the droplet is on but tells me someting like: Out of memory… and i must reboot the droplet in order to fix the issue
What do you mean by <code>My droplet keeps getting out of memory</code>? Do programs keep crashing ?
Try adding swap: <br> <br><pre> <br>echo “vm.swappiness=0” | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.cnf <br>sudo sysctl -p <br>sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=256k <br>sudo mkswap /swapfile <br>sudo chown root:root /swapfile <br>sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile <br>sudo swapon /swapfile <br>echo “/swapfile none swap sw 0 0” | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab <br></pre> <br> <br>That should fix the running out of memory issues.
