+The server needs about 8 GB of free memory during a build and about 20 GB of disk for the image and

+cache and ccache's compiled C++ (volumes `musicshare-gradle` and `musicshare-ccache`) and take a few

+Build step to include old 32-bit ones.
 The caches are Docker volumes, which live wherever Docker keeps its data (usually `/var/lib/docker`).
 Check that disk has room (`df -h /var/lib/docker`): if it fills up, everything else using Docker on the
 server, including databases, stops writing.
