      That’s weird, I never had memory leak problems.

      I don’t like Whoogle because of their UI for image searches. Imo it’s really bad but that’s just my opinion. The image search is also the reason why I don’t use Brave Search because it redirects you to Google or Bing. What’s the point in being “a privacy respecting search engine” when you get redirected to Google and Bing which are the worst search engines in terms of privacy?

          None - I deleted it because I don’t use it anymore. It wasn’t much though and it never bloated, even when running for over a whole month.

              No, I didn’t check because it never got so big to the point where it would become suspicious to me that something might be wrong. Maybe it uses more RAM than other self-hosted search engines but it never leaked memory so it used more and more RAM the longer the instance ran. Just because it uses much RAM it doesn’t mean it’s leaking memory. It might just be developed badly, not very caring about your ressources.

                  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.

      Interesting, my instance has been rock solid. When did you give it a try?

          I’m mobile for the holiday right now, I’m not 100% sure on utilization. But it’s running on a 2 core 4 GB Ubuntu machine along with Caddy and Redis. I also have a Lemmy instance on that same machine so Lemmy, Lemmy-UI, Postgres, and pictr all fit on that machine and work for my daily use.

          I can get exact utilization later tonight.

            I guess it is the largest consumer of memory. Unfortunately I rebooted yesterday, while setting up lemmy I noticed there was a decent amount of OS security updates. Otherwise I probably would have had stats from like 6 months of uptime. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it balloons.
