@Jenkler looks great man. I'm still trying to understand why I'm getting 400 errors for socket io.

@Jenkler Are you using ssl between your server and cloud flare?

@AOKP
I think I'm fine with not using cloudflare. At the moment I'm just trying to get the site stable. I'm still getting disconnects even without using Cloudflare.

So based on what I'm reading and after trying every combination of settings I can find, it seems like not using cloudflare ( at least the free plan). But given that there are people that will DDoS a site "just cause" is there a way to force the downgrade ?

I'd like to add that even after disabling cloudflare I still seem to be having socket io issues.

"GET /socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LlpXxXp HTTP/1.1" 400 23

Thanks I bumped the memory. seems to work now.

I'm trying to set up a fresh install on ubuntu 16.04. When I run npm install --production it gets most of the way through then returns to the command prompt. There isn't a specific error message. There is the last few lines with the --verbose option
