Create Swap File (Optional) (like a 512mb Droplet).
First, we can create an empty 1GB file by typing:
sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
We can format it as swap space by typing:
sudo mkswap /swapfile
Finally, we can enable this space so that the kernel begins to use it by typing:
sudo swapon /swapfile
