There is a dropplet(vps) on digitalocean, the dropplet is built using dokku template. Following a bunch of instruction, I was able to set everything up. At least I think so. The problem appears during the build after git push. The log is here: 

$ git push dokku master

I am new to the theme. Where can I see what's gone wrong?

You might have too few resources to build meteor on your server. Please be sure you have at least 1GB of memory available. If you are on a smaller digital ocean droplet, you can also enable swap.

  • I have 512 MB Memory / 20 GB Disk. How can I make sure that that is the problem in my case? Are there any logs? – dmigo Jan 21 '16 at 23:20
  • Check your `syslog` to see if you had it oomkilled. Again, as a maintainer of Dokku, I *really* suggest you turn on swap on your small instance. Our documentation clearly states memory requirements. – Jose Diaz-Gonzalez Jan 22 '16 at 18:14
  • @JoseDiaz-Gonzalez is there a way to skip the `Downloading Meteor distribution` part? – malix Jan 23 '16 at 19:18
  • That is part of the buildpack, so you'd need to fork that buildpack and remove it, though that almost assuredly will break your meteor install (I don't know anything about meteor). Maybe try using a different framework to build your application? – Jose Diaz-Gonzalez Jan 27 '16 at 02:10
