Good morning,
I use a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB to run Weewx (version 5.x).
This computer is only used for this task.

I notice over time that the amount of memory used increases regularly 
without ever decreasing (see attached illustration). I tried the command *"sudo 
sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3"*. 
This command is effective since it indicates to me in response to the 
*"free"* command a return to the minimum state of the memory used. However, 
curiously, when the terminal is closed, the value of the memory used 
remains identical before the intervention in my WeeWX records and of course 
continues to increase!
If I reset the raspberry, we find a used memory value of around 1GB (see 
illustration).

Is it normal to see this used memory constantly increasing when only using 
WeeWX?
And how to empty these caches in order to find maximum free memory?

THANKS...
