the memory usage of the wordpress machine

[scil]

I use the free and default memory. After I deployed the wordpress apache docker, I received an email like this once a day

Hello! Your “xxx” application hosted on Fly.io crashed because it ran out of memory. Specifically, the instance 81857550a10598. Adding more RAM to your application might help!

You should know that adding RAM does cost money. Not much, but some. Figure about $5/mo per extra GB. Our docs have [complete pricing details](https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/?utm_campaign=oom-notification&utm_medium=email&utm_source=flyio#virtual-machines).

When you’re ready, add more RAM by running this from the command line or the [Fly Web CLI](https://fly.io/terminal):

fly scale memory [memoryMB] -a xxx

(replace [memoryMB] with the amount of memory you want to use, in megabytes eg. 2048)

Here’s the raw log message:

Out of memory: Killed process 1272 (apache2) total-vm:322300kB, anon-rss:24052kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:34308kB, UID:33 pgtables:312kB oom_score_adj:0

the graph, while I was trying to restart the machine

just share this until I find some solution.

That's interesting. Thanks.

I wonder what default values WordPress uses ... It would be a case of looking at the php.ini wp-config.phpetc and see if any of them use a value that assumes more memory is available.

The easy fix would indeed be to up the RAM to 512MB, however it should work with 256MB.
