Hi guys,

Hopefully someone here might have an idea on what going on here. I decided to rebuild my unraid server as I was having some RAM issues due to the unraid API. However even after a full rebuild and adding only my disk pools with no VMs or Docker containers etc my ram is still being eaten up by this file from the unraid-api

/usr/local/unraid-api/dist/main.js

At the moment it's currently consuming 21.3G any ideas why this would be and how to bring that down to a more acceptable usage as I'm unable to recreate the LinuxMint VM I had before the rebuild as the amount of ram etc I want to pass through can't be done due to not enough RAM available.

If anyone has any ideas why this file would be taking up for much memory I am all ears.

Thanks

Eoghan

Does that still happen if you boot in safe mode? And if yes, please post the diagnostics from there.

@JorgeB

I have booted into safe mode and that file no longer is running and the ram is now only using around 400M so does that mean that some code in the API file is going off and having a party in my RAM lol

Added the diagnosis file in case you spot something that I haven't.

API still runs in safe mode. Try uninstalling the Connect plugin and retest in normal boot, and if the issue persists after that, also delete that folder from the flash drive and reboot /config/plugins/dynamix.unraid.net

I know the thread is a bit older but I just came across it through Google. I had a similar issue where System was using between 8 GB and 10 GB out of 16 GB total. After uninstalling the Unraid Connect plugin and rebooting, the RAM usage of System dropped to 1.33 GB. What a MASSIVE reduction. I have no clue what Unraid Connect is doing. Possible memory leak issues?!
