Yes, because as I said it's not a memory leak. I would have noticed a memory leak because I keep an eye on the ressources of my NAS (on which my SearXNG instance was hosted) and I didn't notice an usual growing consumption of my RAM. I just didn't check the consumption of RAM on each individual container that was running. I would have done that if I would have noticed an unusual consumption of RAM.
Look, I can't give you more detailled information than this because it's all from my memories. All I wanted to do was to help as good as I can by answering from my experiences. If that doesn't help or is inappropriate to you I'm sorry. I didn't want to offend you or anything like that.
No, because you're just talking about how much RAM SearXNG consumes. In your original post you were complaining about a memory leak. I monitor the ressources of my NAS. Even after a restart of my NAS where every container was freshly started the RAM consumption wasn't higher than a month later after the restart (without restarting any of the docker containers). And that is why I can with full conviction tell that my SearXNG instance didn't leak memory.
This discussion is going nowhere from here so I'm gonna stop responding. I said everything to make my point as clear as possible. Have a nice day.
