RAM usage stacking up using docker

[tomstan1111]

Hi everyone 👋
I've noticed that when uploading files the RAM usage of my docker container "stacks" up. That wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't persistant. For example: I upload 1.5gigs of videos and the container RAM usage goes from ~30MiB to 70MiB (with occasional small spikes along the way - but that's normal) AND STAYS THERE.

What I've tried so far:

• quiet mode (q)
• setting unpost to a shorter period
• setting ups-who to 0 (I think that's the display setting, so doesn't change anything ?)
• waiting for it to clean up

None of these has made any significant difference...
The only thing I tried that worked was restarting docker compose.

My .conf file:

[global]
p: 3923
e2dsa
e2ts
ansi
q
hist: /cfg/hists/
unpost: 120
ups-who: 0
rproxy: 1
xff-src: ip range

[accounts]
user: passwd

[/]
/media
accs:
rwmda: user

• what docker image?
• what is the highest idle memory usage you have seen?
• have you enabled mimalloc in the compose?
• how are you measuring the memory usage?
  • what exact component is being measured when you check the memory usage?

I think I was just paranoid and most of it is just Linux being lazy with clearing cache (which is actually a good thing).
VmRSS sits at only around 50M, so the other 100+ is just a cache.
Sorry for bothering you...

Great project by the way! Giving it a star right away, cause forgot after the install ⭐
