Linux Low Memory Optimization

Enable SWAP

  1. Check current SWAP status

    bash
    sudo swapon --show
  2. Create SWAP file

    bash
    fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
  3. Set permissions

    bash
    chmod 600 /swapfile
  4. Format and enable SWAP

    bash
    mkswap /swapfile
    swapon /swapfile
  5. Set auto-mount on boot

    bash
    echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | tee -a /etc/fstab

Enable ZRAM

Debian / Ubuntu

  1. Install

    bash
    apt update
    apt install zram-tools -y
  2. Modify configuration file

    bash
    nano /etc/default/zramswap

    Add or modify the following:

    bash
    # Use lz4 compression algorithm for the best balance of speed and ratio
    ALGO=lz4
    
    # Use 60% of total memory as ZRAM size
    PERCENT=60
    
    # [Crucial] Set priority to 100.
    # As long as this is higher than disk Swap (usually -2), the system will prioritize ZRAM.
    PRIORITY=100

    Press Ctrl+O Enter to save, Ctrl+X to exit.

  3. Restart service

    bash
    systemctl daemon-reload
    systemctl restart zramswap

CentOS / Arch Linux

Recommended to use zram-generator for these systems.

  1. Install

    bash
    # CentOS 8/9, Fedora, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux
    dnf install zram-generator -y
    
    # Arch Linux
    pacman -S zram-generator
  2. Modify configuration file Create or edit /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf:

    ini
    [zram0]
    # Use 60% of total memory
    zram-size = ram * 0.6
    # Use lz4 compression algorithm
    compression-algorithm = lz4
    # Higher priority than disk Swap
    swap-priority = 100
  3. Start service

    bash
    systemctl daemon-reload
    systemctl start systemd-zram-setup@zram0

General Optimization

Regardless of the system, it is recommended to adjust swappiness to use ZRAM more aggressively.

bash
grep -q "vm.swappiness" /etc/sysctl.conf || echo "vm.swappiness=20" | tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p

Disable Site Isolation (fission.autostart)

For servers with extremely tight memory (e.g., 1GB RAM), if the system still crashes frequently after enabling SWAP and ZRAM, you can try disabling Firefox's Site Isolation as a last resort.

Risk Disclosure

Disabling Site Isolation reduces the uniqueness of the browser fingerprint, potentially making it easier for high-level anti-bot systems to identify (e.g., by detecting single-process model or inter-process communication delays). Use only when necessary.

  1. Modify config.yaml:

    yaml
    browser:
      # ...
      # Disable site isolation to significantly reduce memory footprint
      fission: false
  2. Restart WebAI2API service.

Tip

After completing the configuration, it is recommended to restart the server to ensure all settings take effect.
