#Why does HAOS VM take up so much RAM right after install?

Used PVE helper script to install HAOS. It's running at 3.7 Gb of RAM and I literally haven't even configured an admin account yet.

Is this normal?

In my limited experience this isn't normal. I'm running HAOS on VirtualBox with only 2GB of ram allocated and it's working great.

#

TBH, I don't completely understand the stats at the top, especially the 36.1/1.9 for memory

#

If I understand, it looks like it's using 725MB ram

It’s all cache

#

If the balloon driver is working right, it should be reclaimable

I'm not unhappy with what I see. Unless I'm missing something, the little VM with 2GB allocated is running HAOS just fine.

#

I'm still easily amazed by how great VMs are 🙂

Top and press m a few times

#

You will see a ram use %

#

All of my openSUSE microOS Tumbleweed VMs do the same thing

#

Plus proxmox will save on ram usage by locking duplicate identical ram patterns and take up space once instead of multiple times. (Only helps if you have multiple VMs)

Oh so I see so it’s cache

#

I allocated 4Gb

#

Using proxmox helper script

#

oh i see

#

i asked because you can run this

#

and add it onto a VM or container

#

i went to the app pane and downloaded it, not sure if this is a known inssue but its not starting up
