Bitcoind stops processing downloading blocks

[webworker01]

Hello, I am following your article on medium and trying to get things setup on a vps with the docker image. When downloading the blockchain with bitcoind_mainnet, the download just stops without error message.

The last item I see in the logs this time after running it again is:

I'm using a cheapish vps with only 512mb of ram, is this possibly the culprit? Or have any other ideas? It does seem to stop at different blocks each time I restart so not sure if it's the memory or not.

I think it's your low ram, or low HDD space...can you try with a bigger computer?

Hmm, i'd really like to get this working with a lower cheap vps. Toying with a bigger swap file to see if I can get it to finish syncing.. slow :D
