October 7, 20241 yr I've started playing around with docker containers in Unraid and have a few I leave up all the time like plex. I've noticed that the longer their active the more memory usage keeps increasing. Is this normal for Unraid to have to restart docker containers daily to keep ram usage down? The main one for me seems to be plex and it continues to grow when I'm adding new content into the library. Transcoding through ram always takes a few G then drops back down but fetching data seems to stay in ram. Filezilla also seems to end up quite high after searching though FTP site and downloading. I feel like I might be missing something as I've ran docker container for plex before but its never gotten as high as it has been for Unraid i had it well over 40gb in ram usage in just a day of adding new content to my library.
