# ramdl: download moar RAM (100% reel no scamz no hackz)

Is your computer constantly low on memory? Need more dedotated wam for your minecraft server? Want to run [modern](https://code.visualstudio.com/), [21st century](https://hyper.is/) [software](https://github.com/aleksey-hoffman/sigma-file-manager)?

With `ramdl`, downloading more RAM has never been so easy. Gone are the days of slow, inefficient RAM downloading methods. Downloading more RAM is as simple as following these three easy steps:

1. Obtain access to a server with plenty of RAM
2. Run the `ramdl_server` script as root on the server
3. Run the `ramdl` script as root on your PC

## `ramdl_server`

Usage: `# ramdl_server <mountpoint> <size>`

For example, to create a 1G ramdisk at `/mnt/ramdl`, run `# ramdl_server /mnt/ramdl 1G`. The script will create the directory if it does not already exist.

To unmount the ramdisk, simply `# umount <mountpoint>`.

## `ramdl`

Usage: `# ramdl <user@host:path> <mountpoint>`

For example, if the previous command was run from `example.com`, we could mount it to `/mnt/downloaded-ram` with `# ramdl user@example.com:/mnt/ramdl /mnt/downloaded-ram`.

## Disclaimer

PLEASE DO NOT run `ramdl` on a real machine. as the downloaded ram is very slow, it is quite likely that corruption will occur.

`ramdl_server` *should* be safe to run on a real machine (i have done so to great success), but i take no responsibility for what happens if you do.
