hostnamectl set-hostname server.example.com

Replace server.example.com with your desired hostname. In the above command, I am using server.example.com as hostname, you can also create the hostname in the same way with your domain name.

Create Swap File

Swap is a space on a disk that is used when the amount of memory in RAM is full. When the RAM runs out of space at that time all the inactive tasks moved from RAM to the Swap space. Normally the amount of Swap files is double of

To create the Swap file run the following commands.

  • First check the RAM of the server and also check the swap file is already exist, To check the RAM run the following command.
free -h
  • After Checking the RAM, allocate the space for the Swap File. Swap file must be the double in size of RAM. For example server have 2 GB RAM so, I have created 4 GB of swap file.
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile count=4096 bs=1M

Change the count value as per your requirement. If you want to create the Swap file of 2 GB, simply write 2048 in the count section. Write the count value in MB.

  • Change the ownership of the Swap file to Root User.
sudo chown root:root /swapfile
  • Change the permission of the Swap file so that only Root User can access and modify the file.
sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
  • Run the command to set up the file as Linux swap area.
sudo mkswap /swapfile
  • Enable the swap file which we have created.
sudo swapon /swapfile
  • Check the Swap File successfully created or not.
sudo swapon -s
  • To make the Swap file permanent, simply edit the /etc/fstab file.
vim /etc/fstab
  • Add the following content in the /etc/fstab file.
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
  • Fstab file plays an important role in booting the server. If Fstab file is not properly configured then it may cause serious damage to the server. To check the configuration of fstab file run the following command.
mount -a
  • To check the Swap is active, either run the Free command or use the swapon command as shown below.
free -h
sudo swapon --show
  • Adjust the Swappiness value, first check the existing value.
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
  • For the production server we have to need to set the lower value.
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
