sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile count=2048 bs=1M
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo ‘/swapfile none swap sw 0 0’ | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
free -m

The following commands will setup a hostname, jitsimeet, and an FQDN, jitsimeet.example.com, for the machine:

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname jitsimeet
sudo sed -i ‘s/^127.0.1.1.*$/127.0.1.1 jitsimeet.example.com jitsimeet/g’ /etc/hosts
