emby server consumes a huge RAM without anybody use it

[Luke 37252]

You could try removing the playback reporting and dlna plugins, then restart the server and see if that helps.

Also is the server machine configured as a DMZ in your router? Because it looks like you're exposing all ports on the machine to the internet.

Oh yes I want to tell you that actually this server is a private dedicated server, so for the privacy purpose I have changed the ip server in the log file to 192.168.7.7

anyway I have removed the playback reporting and dlna plugins. I'll give you the feedback later

 

Many thanks

Yea but it does look like you've got all ports on the server machine exposed to the internet. That is your actual problem because you've' got random internet ip addresses sending dlna related traffic to your server.

Removing the dlna plugin will cause the server to ignore them and not do anything with them, and therefore it might cause you to think the problem is fixed, but i think the true problem is the level of exposure this machine has on the internet.

Can you answer my previous question about memory backed storage? 

Can you post the current memory usage? 

When was the server last rebooted?

I can close all ports .. but first lets see if removing dlna will solve the issue

No I do not do any backed storage by myself in emby config

and this the output of "df -h", if it help (I'm not expert on this)

Why were all ports open in the first place? That sounds like a nightmare.

[Q-Droid 670]

Is Emby running in docker?

How long does it take for the memory usage to increase and get to the levels you posted before?

hi @Luke

The ports were open because I think iptables close the ports by it self and open only the port that needs for installs programs (not expert in linux firewall) ... anyway I have installed the emby in new server and learn how to use firewall. Now all ports are closed 

 

@Q-Droid thanks for your help ... it was not running in docker.

 

now everything is working great

Thanks all

[Luke 37252]

Thanks for the feedback.
