You could also try using a swapfile:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
16+0 records in
16+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.48003 s, 144 MB/s
$ sudo mkswap /swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1048572 KiB
no label, UUID=652ca330-1559-4908-b0b0-74be8578de3e
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 497 426 70 0 13 376
-/+ buffers/cache: 37 459
Swap: 0 0 0
$ sudo swapon /swapfile
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 497 427 69 0 13 376
-/+ buffers/cache: 37 459
Swap: 1023 0 1023
It will be slow, on the smallest digital ocean droplet (512mb ram) and
a 1gb swapfile, compiling racket from source takes about 3 hrs but at
least you can leave it unattended.
