Translate? You know that a CPU sits idle most of the time right?
What kind of potato are you running? Also, how many hundred services do you run on it anyway, complaining about 200mb. You better off running docker on baremetal, if you are that worried.
Do you know how much RAM Windows 11 uses on idle?
WTF
as VMs have a huge overhead by comparison.
Not at all. The benefits outweighs the slight increased RAM usage by a huge margin.
I have Urbackup running in a dietpi VM. I have it set for 256mb of RAM. That includes the OS and the Urbackup service. It works perfectly fine.
I have an alpine VM that runs 32 docker containers using about 3.5GB of RAM. I wouldn’t call that bloat by any means.
I’m running Urbackup in a Dietpi VM, with 256Mb RAM. Works fine.
Urbackup server is running about 70Mb RAM idle.
I could probably go down to 128Mb for the whole VM, but that’s is pointless and it might start to struggle during a backup session.
Poor plants, when I spill my coffee all over them.
