In this guide, we’ll go over the steps to create a swap file on Linux using the dd command. Once the swap file is set up, we’ll configure it in /etc/fstab so it activates automatically on boot.

Creating the Swap File

To begin, we’ll use the dd command to allocate 1GB for the swap file. Then, we’ll format the file, secure its permissions, and activate the swap space.

bash
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
sudo mkswap /swapfile && sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
