You mean you had to enable swap to run the Let's Encrypt client?
- pfg 10y agoIf you use certbot-auto to install the client, part of the installation process involves compiling some crypto library (IIRC) which tends to fail on low-memory systems, hence the need for swap. Packaged versions of certbot (from your distribution's package manager) don't suffer from that problem and have fairly low memory requirements.
- Achshar 10y agoYeah right swap memory. I'm a server management newbie. This was a cent os instance and apparently it didn't have a native certbot so I had to use certbot auto.
