Is it possible to reduce memory requirement?

[Nyarukocqc]

Probably most servers running shadowsocks have only 1 GiB memory,But compiling shadowsocks-rust require 2 GiB.

pre-built binaries works fine,but can't use optional features(please correct me if i am wrong).

Can memory requirements be reduced so we can build it from small VPS?

@Nyarukocqc You can also try -j1

Does --bin ssserver require less RAM when compiling? I compiled successfully several times with that option on a 1GB instance.
EDIT: Now that I routinely compile ssserver on the instance, I see it often fails on the first try (if not just rebooted), but a retry always works for some reason...

Yes, of course.

cargo +nightly install shadowsock-rust --bin ssserver
On my box it even compiles with just 512M RAM and 1G swap 😅
