For quite some time, i had this random occurance of which my CD pipeline would crash, and I had to restart my EC2 server to temporarily fix it. As it turns out, my EC2 t3.micro instance with 1GB of RAM was doing wonders to publish the project, since the pipeline would make it run "git pull" then "dotnet publish". Now the pipeline runs "dotnet publish" on the jenkins server and sends a .zip file to the EC2 machine.
