Docker Desktop eats a lot of memory over time

kolossboss commented 11 months ago

Description

hi, l'm running Docker Desktop for a few month, without any problems on my Mac Mini M2 with 8GB Ram. Since a few days a got massive performance issues and the cause appears to be docker desktop.

After 2 days the Docker.app used 5-6 GBs of my little memory and the system starts to swap getting very slow. After restarting Docker.app the usage is at 80MB but starts raising again. I think the issues starts with updating docker to latest Version, but I'm not sure.

I already disabled the SBOM Indexing, (read that somewhere) but no success.

The VR Service is solid at 2GB as I setup.

Reproduce

Start Docker Desktop App.
1. See Memory raising

Expected behavior

docker.app using less memory
