It was definitely a pain in the ass before the official docker image. Have you tried that?

Thank you! I'll try the Docker image.

No problem. And I meant to mention the Docker Compose config they have here [0]. This is what I use to self-host on my Raspberry Pi, and it works great. Just make sure to add a cron job that restarts the container every hour to get around the memory leak issue (my cron job is literally /bin/docker restart <container_name>)

As long as you aren’t hosting a public instance, the docker config in their docs should work fine. As for RAM consumption, I have set limits, so not sure if it’s actually happening.

You mean when compiling? It's normal.

There are recommendations about the memory needed for compiling.

If you do not have enough RAM just use the docker image which is already precompiled.

Odd, I have the docker image running on a cheap 4gb VPS and it's been rock solid so far (set it up about a week ago).
