I see one of the recent Home Assistant updates (possibly esphome) has introduced a spectacular memory leak.
This is a HASS OS VM which usually only needs 2GB of RAM. I bumped it up to 4GB and it's still increasing.
And the command line is completely ignoring input too.
#homeassistant

Update: I've given it a whole 8GB RAM. It's used SEVEN.

@philpem unused RAM is wasted RAM

what "apps" (previously addons) are you using? HA and ESPHome Docker on a 2GB Pi couldn't build anything without swapping for me (ages ago)

@noiob There's a line between disk cache and greedy apps ;)
It seems like it was rebuilding a bunch of docker containers.
