I’m also wondering if it’s possible to setup a swapfile (or otherwise increase the memory limit).

I have a container that may run out of memory when compiling some larger projects during development in local mode.

I haven’t tried this yet, but it looks related: [Create a swap file](https://forums.balena.io/t/create-a-swap-file/3158/5)
