I see an "out of memory" notice in the log, what is the type and size of your server instance on Digital Ocean?

You need more RAM to complete the build. Upgrade to a 2 GB machine.

I'll update the docs to make sure others don't run into this issue.

That must be my issue. I have yet been able to complete the installation of ODK on Digital Ocean. I gave up after a dozen tries. I will try again with the 2 GB

It might not be your issue. Look at your logs to see what the likely issue is.
