tmpfs no increased RAM usage

[jhallenb]

I am running frigate in proxmox (on a lxc container that runs docker).
I used docker-compose and the latest 1.29.2 version of docker-compose.
The docker-compose file is copied from the frigate howto.

It runs fine, but I expected the RAM usage to go up when specifying 1 gig as tmpfs.
It does not according to the proxmox RAM graph.

Is this expected?
How can I verify that frigate uses the tmpfs.

Thanks for the great work

I wouldn't expect to see the usage jump until its actually being used. Check /api/stats and see what it says for /dev/shm under storage.

Thanks
Seems 80Mb was in use.
Thanks for the fast reply.

@blakeblackshear How can I verify that this /dev/shm is written to RAM and not disk? I'm seeing high "Disc I/O in Proxmox and I'm afraid that my disc is beeing used instead of RAM
