Description
Add these to the cmdline.txt when installing.
zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=lz4 zswap.zpool=z3fold
This will allow compressable objects to be compressed and stored compressed in ram. On a raspberry pi 3, it shouldn't effect performance much at all. It's actually recommended by Ubuntu. See this:

I'm going to try it to see if my once a day reboot will still be ok. Right now I have a video file within a website and it doesn't last the day right now.

Research direction
Locate the installation flow that creates or edits cmdline.txt and read how boot parameters are currently added. Verify the requested zswap parameters are included for Raspberry Pi installations, then confirm the generated cmdline.txt contains them without disrupting existing options.
