amount of RAM needed

[chri2]

I installed the bridge on an ARM board and Linux (Debian) + Docker + bridge image use ~380kb of RAM without much activity. Is the needed RAM of 1GB still correct? For which amount of bridged accounts or rooms would that be correct?

Hi @chri2

I measured that myself using some command line tool in my prod Linux box. Sadly, I can't remember which tool I used 😣 but it is very posible that the value I set is an overestimation, so it probably could be changed to a more precise or realistic value. Do you know how to measure the RAM properly?

Do you know how to measure the RAM properly?

I only know that it is quite hard (shared memory, reserved and all that). I've been in the nice situation just running a default Debian and its services + docker + the bridge. That's why I wondered.

(Actually I put it on its own system, because my yunohost doesn't have 1GB RAM available)

I seems to be even less. Of the ~350MB used on the whole system (without buffers) the bigger part is used by dockerd, containerd, systemd - the system itself.
This is on a bridge that connects one WhatsApp with two groups and three contacts in double puppet and relay mode for one matrix user.
