Did anyone else hit 2gb of ram while building? I had to add swap to my seed node to get it to compile.
I think the best way is build at your pc side, then upload to the VPS server.
I have lost 1 block when I build at the VPS server
I often build first, and then restart, but sometimes re-indexing take sometime, we need hot standby then.
I will cp -a the chain dir to a new directory, then run another client to re-index first, like:
mkdir test
cp -a delegates/chain test/
./bitshares_client --data-dir=test
after the index, close the delegate wallet, cp back the new chain directory, run delegate again.
of course, I have the backup delegate run at the same time.
