Lemmy locks up and uses a lot of ressources after about a week
Had this happen 2 times already and increasing the max memory seemed to fix it. Does lemmy need that much ressources or am I doing something wrong? I’m on the latest stable version

russjr08, Are there any logs from the container(s) when it locks up?
chris, Did you tune your postgres for your ram size?
Oha, I might havent done that. dont remember anymore
chris, 4gb is not a lot for a db. And it has to share it with lemmy and pictrs. It might not be enough with the standard config. Even then it might struggle if you subscribe to a lot of communities. You have to remember that every instance replicates everything the users are subscribed to. I am not sure though because my server hosts several applications and I have enough RAM.
kbotc, Yea, there’s no where near enough RAM in that system. Add RAM and I’d bet everything fixes itself for a bit.
SeeJayEmm, I’m running mine on a VPS with only 2.5 GB of ram and a few other smaller containers and have room.
I’d agree with the others about checking your postgres mem config.
archomrade, I’m a Linux/selfhosting novice, but from what I understand, Linux (and proxmox) uses intelligent resource management. It should adjust CPU and memory demands between tasks and VMs. My small stack of VMs running a media server and omv is basically always redlining with memory, occasionally with cpu (I don’t have a dedicated GPU for encoding though)
The storage is a different problem, but it doesn’t surprise me that Lemmy would use quite a bit of storage with active federation and multiple users.
