+## Manual swapfile setup
+
+```sh
+# One time:
+#   Create and initialize swapfile.
+#   mkswap will initialize swap area over full filesize by default.
+sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1G count=1
+mkswap /swapfile
+
+# Enable swap file (until next reboot).
+swapon /swapfile
+
+# Persistent setup of swap file.
+echo "/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+
+# Disable swap file (until next reboot).
+swapoff /swapfile
+```
+> Recommended file permissions `0600` and file owner `uid=0 (root)`.

+## Using `dphys-swapfile` service.
+
+Dynamically computes size of swap file based on installed RAM.
+
+```sh
+# Setup and enable swap based on /etc/dphys-swapfile.
+dphys-swapfile setup
+dphys-swapfile swapon
+
+# Disable swap on configured file.
+dphys-swapfile swapoff

+> Usually comes with a script to be automatically run at system startup and shutdown.
+> For example as `systemd` service:
+> ```
+> systemctl status dphys-swapfile
