Purging / MySQL memory issues

[rosano]

Not sure if this is one of the reasons why MySQL keeps running out of memory (I've already bumped the service to a higher limit than normal). It seems like this app is keeping all the read articles, even past the days set in preferences. Anyone encounter this? or aware of how to purge manually?

@rosano maybe check the size of the mysqldump file in backups. I remember @necrevistonnezr saying in the past that ttrss has large mysql sizes.

@girish 15.6 MB, not sure if that's 'large'? and what could I do to reduce it?

@rosano that's actually very small. I was thinking maybe it was some GBs in size.

How is the general free memory situation on your server? The kernel just chooses some process at random and nukes it. (random from user's point of view, I am sure kernel has some heuristic).
