Enabling swap on Scaleway or any other VPS
Raw
swap.md

It seems all new scaleway servers are created without swap. For people, like me who want to use some, there is the easy way (ex. is for 8Go) :

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1024 count=8388608
sudo chmod 0600 /swap
sudo mkswap /swap
sudo swapon /swap
free -h

Add this line to your /etc/fstab file :

/swap swap swap defaults 0 0

And you’re done…
