Heyas. So I’ve been running PiHole as a docker container in a VM for a while but I noticed that it’s been really using a ton of RAM lately. The latest iteration of the process here before I restart it is at:

Are you all seeing this issue also?

Initially I was running latest image, then I went backwards to 2023.10.0 and seemingly still having it.
