Ahem, yeah, so I'm not allowed to request a short description
on how to use poudiere in a resource constrained environment?

The environment isn't constrained by poudriere but by the ports you want
to compile. When compiling libreoffice or chromium or firefox I don't
think there is anything else that can be done than setting poudriere to
run no more than 1 job at a time. Poudriere itself doesn't take any
additional resources, it's just a dedicated jail and a bunch of scripts.

I did not state that the "environment is constrained by poudriere".
The environment is contrained due to resource limits.  If you
only have 1 Gb of memory and 5-10 GB diskspace, then using poudriere
with zfs and jails is a nonstarter.  Yes, I'm aware that zfs is not
required.  Can't find info on whether jails can be avoided.  Having
say lang/llvm40 installed in /usr/local and in a jail would consumes
2.6 GB.  That's 1 port!


Would temporarily spinning up an EC2 instance on AWS be an option? It's priced per hour so shouldn't cost much to compile required packages? On the other hand, a desktop with 4GB of RAM and 250GB HDD costs $50-100.

I sometimes think if setting up a build system where someone would be able to build ports with their own customized options could become popular...
