# Set up Swap (if needed)
- If you're using the minimum 1 GB install, you *must* [set up a swap file](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-swapfile-for-your-linux-server/13880) of 1 GB minimum.

# Post-Install Maintenance
We believe most small and medium size Discourse installs will be fine with the recommended 2 GB of RAM. However, if you are using the absolute minimum 1 GB of RAM, or your forum is growing you may want to [set up a swap file](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-swapfile-for-your-linux-server/13880) just in case.
