Odoo 16 on AWS lightsail Amazon Linux 2023 with 512Mb

Question

Hello,
I'm setting up a Odoo server and I have the following configuration
my.domain => go to the website (managed by Odoo)
Odoo.my.domain => go to the Odoo interface
I'm using docker-compose to set up everything and use a nginx to secure the connection with Let's encrypt
My problem is that I can't create a database with Odoo. Once I try to create a database with the demo data to see if it's working the Odoo container exit with the code 137...
Is that a memory overflow problem ?
If so, where could I find the memory usage ? Also when I try to connect via ssh after my fail attempt to create a Odoo database my ssh connection fail as well...

Should I use a bigger lightsail instance or use a EC2 instance ?

Answer

Hello.  
For Lightsail instances, memory usage cannot be checked with metrics.  
You need to connect via SSH and use the "top" command to check.

From what I've heard about the situation, it is possible that there is a problem with the specs.  
I think it would be a good idea to create a Lightsail with larger specs and see if it is possible to start a database, etc.

If your database is supported by Lightsail database, etc., you may be able to consider using that as well.

EC2 may also be selected if cost is available.  
With EC2, it would be possible to select the appropriate instance type for the application workload.
