How To Add Swap Space on Ubuntu 22.04

One way to guard against out-of-memory errors in applications is to add some swap space to your server. In this guide, we will cover how to add a swap file to an Ubuntu 22.04 server.

Swap is a portion of hard drive storage that has been set aside for the operating system to temporarily store data that it can no longer hold in RAM. This lets you increase the amount of information that your server can keep in its working memory, with some caveats. The swap space on the hard drive will be used mainly when there is no longer sufficient space in RAM to hold in-use application data.

The information written to disk will be significantly slower than information kept in RAM, but the operating system will prefer to keep running application data in memory and use swap for the older data. Overall, having swap space as a fallback for when your system’s RAM is depleted can be a good safety net against out-of-memory exceptions on systems with non-SSD storage available.

Install the EpiServer.Templates package globally

dotnet new install EPiServer.Templates

Then install the optional EpiServer CLI tools

dotnet tool install Episerver.Net.CLI -g --add-source https://nuget.optimizely.com/feed/packages.svc/

Make sure you install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design from nuget to allow migrations in the project. Then, open terminal and navigate to the root folder of the project in the solution that contains the EF implementation that you want to enable migrations on.

Create initial snapshot

dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate

Run migration

dotnet ef database update

> #r "C:/MyApp/bin/Debug/Foo.dll"
> using MyApp;
> var personType = typeof(Person);
> var personProperties = personType.GetProperties();
> foreach(var personProperty in personProperty) { Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(Person)}.{personProperty.Name}"); }

This will return a list of all of the properties to the Console

Open CMD as an administrator and run the following commands in sequence:

net stop winnat

net start winnat

	The AppArmor in Ubuntu 24.04 causes Docker Desktop to fail to run. The workaround for this is to create a new profile in App Armor once Docker Desktop has been installed.

	Run this command to create a new App Armor profile:

	sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/opt.docker-desktop.bin.com.docker.backend

	And enter this into the profile in nano

	select vdisk file="C:\Users\[YourLocalUserName]\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\data\ext4.vhdx"
	attach vdisk readonly
	compact vdisk //this might take a while
	detach vdisk
	exit
