It was probably about a year ago now, so I probably should spin it up again. I think I'll do that today.

How much RAM does yours use?

I’m mobile for the holiday right now, I’m not 100% sure on utilization. But it’s running on a 2 core 4 GB Ubuntu machine along with Caddy and Redis. I also have a Lemmy instance on that same machine so Lemmy, Lemmy-UI, Postgres, and pictr all fit on that machine and work for my daily use.

I can get exact utilization later tonight.

I guess it is the largest consumer of memory. Unfortunately I rebooted yesterday, while setting up lemmy I noticed there was a decent amount of OS security updates. Otherwise I probably would have had stats from like 6 months of uptime. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it balloons.

Thanks for reporting back on it.

Yeah, even that, I just don't understand why a search engine, sitting idle, consumes that much memory. The largest consumers of memory for me are: Omada Controller, Airsonic-Advanced, HomeAssistant, Lidarr, Sonarr, Paperless... all things that process a lot of data, or are written in Java, so it's to be expected they use more resources.

I would see it grow to 600MB+ and occasionally crash, so I just decided to use public instances.
