Describe the Bug

I have installed karakeep on a debian LXC using the installation script, this has been working great for several months now, and previous updates were a breeze until today.

When I tried to update it using sudo bash karakeep-linux.sh update I always get this error:

sudo bash karakeep-linux.sh update
Checking for an update...
▸▹▹▹▹Caught error in line 74: exit code 134: while executing "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

I tried re-downloading the script and still keeps on getting the same error.

Steps to Reproduce

sudo bash karakeep-linux.sh update

Checking for an update...
▸▹▹▹▹Caught error in line 74: exit code 134: while executing "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

Expected Behaviour

I'm expecting it to get updated without any errors.

Screenshots or Additional Context

No response

Device Details

No response

Exact Karakeep Version

I haven't been able to write down the version i'm using before this error and I can't start karakeep anymore.

Have you checked the troubleshooting guide?

Can you re run the installation with -v to debug why it's failing?

I think I found what's causing it, whenever I try to update using the karakeep-linux.sh script, it uses all the LXC memory resource until it crashes, I have 2GB and I had to make it to 4GB and now it updated properly. It used to update without problem with just 2GB of RAM.
