Out of ram error when building

Hi there, i have small nextjs project and my own vps, vps has 3gb of ram and has a bit of stuff running on it, so on average it consumes around 1.5gb of ram, whenever i try to build my nextjs prject the ram usage spikes up to 3gb at "Linting and checking validity of type" and then crashes because i don't have enough ram and i don't have swap

Is there any way to somehow build my project locally and then transfer that build to my server? I don't really want to change server configuration or do anything else to the server because 4gb is plenty for my needs

you can build docker image locally
https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/deploying#docker-image
and then copy it to your vps, probably easiest way with docker hub, it have 1 private repository in free plan.
wouldn't docker itself consume way more ram in day to day operations?
thanks
