**What type of hardware are you using** : VPS bought online
**What YunoHost version are you running** : 12.0.16
**What app is this about** : Jellyseerr
### Describe your issue
I have been trying to install Jellyseerr for the past few days and it would always hang at “building the app from source” for a few minutes. Then it would crash and displays the error message “The Yunohost API is not responding. Maybe ‘yunohost-api’ is down or got restarted?”

Hey! I have found a workaround by using docker and following this guide instead: [How to install apps with Docker on Yunohost (how I did it)](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/how-to-install-apps-with-docker-on-yunohost-how-i-did-it/20528)
But I’m not going to close this thread just yet, because I am still curious as to what I should have done/what I have misconfigured and I still want to install Jellyseerr natively.

So it seems it’s hanging at `Creating an optimized production build ...`
On our automatic tests, this specific step does take a good 40 seconds but that should still be “not that long”, at least not long enough to trigger a 502 on the yunohost API …
Naively I would say that maybe your VPS has a rather slow CPU, something along those lines, but it’s a rough guess
