Hi friends,

Pangolin keeps crashing my 1vcpu 1GB RAM VPS. Even a ssh connection request will time out and I have to reboot it via the VPS hosting portal.

I installed pangolin on a freshly commissioned VPS with 1vCPU and 1GB RAM with ubuntu 24.04 running a couple of weeks ago. I set it up via the installer according to https://docs.fossorial.io/Getting%20Started/quick-install#1-downloading-and-running-the-installer.

I have only around 5 resources connected and every couple of days the VPS completely crashes. I have noticed that the RAM is all used up most of the time because there are multiple node process which seem to be very RAM hungry.

I am guessing the crashes are because of this.

Is there any way to restrict the amount of node processes spawning in the app?

I really like this project but I cannot get pangolin running smoothly on a 1cCPU 1GB RAM setup like the docs suggest should be possible.

This is htop output right after a restart. The node processes will start hogging more RAM with time...
