Setup swap space in VM images #6824

Closed DavidePrincipi closed 7 months ago

DavidePrincipi commented 8 months ago

When the NS8 image is instantiated in a VM the resulting system has no swap space configured. In many cases the VM is allocated few memory and the system becomes quickly unstable.

Proposed solution

Test this solution to configure a simple swap file on the first boot of the VM image

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/cloud-swap

Alternative solution

Fixed 4GB swap file

At first boot, swap space is added
After reboot, swap space is still there
$(systemctl is-system-running) == running
