Issue with very high memory usage

[shrey]

Have been facing some significant issues with the memory usage, of the Directus app.

Started the discussion in Directus' github a few days ago:

https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/21308

So far, the main area of suspicion seems to be the behaviour of the underlying S3 adapter.

Would be good to find out if this is indeed something that can be resolved on the Cloudron end?

@shrey what happens after a restart? how long after does it jump up?

@robi
After restart, the memory completely frees up again.

@shrey it's related to s3 adapter. we just use the upstream one, so it's not related to cloudron end.

so it's not related to cloudron end.

not sure about this.

When i create a Directus project on a VPS using docker (docker compose or via Portainer), with almost identical configuration as the Cloudron Directus project, i don't get this issue.

Example: Container memory usage when uploading a 8GB file to Directus, barely goes up by some 200MB, whereas in Cloudron, the memory always gets consumed by the entire size of the file (8GB in this case).
