Hi there Im running HA on RPI3b+ with just 10 automations… and no idea for big projects… My Glances instance says I dont have enough MEM as picture shows [Captura de ecrã 2025-01-26, às 12.10.58] Ive created a Swap File using chatgpt help, but when I restart system the swap file won’t “start” I…

well reading some posts… I found this… that may help users with less experience [image] GitHub - TazzerMAN/increase_swap_addon: This add-on increases the swap space... This add-on increases the swap space on your system initially created for Rasberry Pi. - TazzerMAN/increase_swap_addon …

Hi Search the forum. There are a number of threads about increasing the swap size on RPI3B+.

Ok I will When I creat the post the system won’t “recognize” any post

One thing you want to keep in mind is that the Glances Add-On itself can be a CPU and memory hog. I’ve come to not start it automatically and only turn it on when I really need it.

yes thanks … I have just the essential to run HA… im aware of that the only add-on running is the google backup and zigbee2mqtt

[image] jose_rui_sa: Note: I also think on dessolderig the memory chip from RPI and put 2 or 4GB but I can’t found compatible memory on aliexpress to play around RPi3B is 32bit. It can not address 4Gb. It should handle around 3.2Gb, but that is raw memory. How much is taken to shadow code i…

RPI3b+ I think is 64bit I have HA 64bit version

You are correct. :slight_smile: Then it can handle more addresses, but I wonder if it is worth it.

I have some soldering skills and some equipment Also have a good electronic teacher to help

How to increase the swap file size on Home Assistant OS Home Assistant OS

Increasing the swapfile size (especially on a USB SSD attached to my test RPi 3B) is pretty typical when trying to get a Linux box to perform and generally be more stable… After hanging around on this GitHub issue and watching the progress, I believe there’s a simple and repeatable way to increase the swapfile size. This solution will survive reboots and upgrades. You also never have to actually open the shell itself. Please keep in mind that this is strictly for HA OS not Raspberry Pi OS aka…
