Performance Optimization for 2GB RAM

Advanced Memory Management

# Optimal swap configuration for 1GB RAM
fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

# Fine-tune memory management
echo 'vm.swappiness=10' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo 'vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo 'vm.dirty_ratio=15' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo 'vm.dirty_background_ratio=5' >> /etc/sysctl.conf

# Apply settings
sysctl -p

Docker and Container Management

TINY 2.1 VPS supports containerized applications!

With 1GB RAM and 1 vCPU, you can run lightweight containers with proper resource limits.

Recommended Container Limits

# Example: Lightweight application stack
version: '3.8'
services:
  app:
    image: node:alpine
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '0.5'
          memory: 384M
        reservations:
          cpus: '0.25'
          memory: 192M

  database:
    image: postgres:alpine
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '0.25'
          memory: 384M
        reservations:
          cpus: '0.1'
          memory: 192M

  cache:
    image: redis:alpine
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '0.15'
          memory: 128M

Container Monitoring

# Monitor container resource usage
docker stats --format "table {{.Container}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}"

# Set up container health checks
docker run -d --name healthy-app \
  --health-cmd="curl -f http://localhost/health || exit 1" \
  --health-interval=30s \
  --health-timeout=10s \
  --health-retries=3 \
  my-app:latest

# Restart containers on failure
docker run -d --name auto-restart-app \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  my-app:latest
