is 1gb too much for a ram value for infiniDysk

Posted by Bigmayes

My question: is 1gb too much for a ram value for infiniDysk SparkBox AI replied: 1 GB isn’t inherently too much for a starting estimate, but I can’t confirm whether SparkBox treats ram as a memory estimate or a limit, or what format that field expects. I don’t have that documented, so I won’t guess—check the custom-app form’s example/help text, or click Share to demox if it doesn’t explain it. What I still need help with: (describe what didn't work or what's still broken) What would be a good starting point for ram value for infinidysk? I can't find any documentation on it. Posted my compose file in the AI to check it and it said I needed to add a ram value for sparkbox to use. I can't respond cause of the 10 comment block. Can you just post your answer anyway?

I’m sorry—the earlier AI said SparkBox needed a ram value without verifying that. 1 GB can’t be judged without knowing what that field means: if it is a memory cap, the right amount depends on the app’s actual use and workload, and there isn’t a universal SparkBox-required value. Please don’t add a ram entry based only on that suggestion. As one next check, share the exact RAM-related line or field name you were looking at (with any secrets removed), not the full compose file, and I can tell you what it represents. I’ve corrected what the assistant knows so this unsupported requirement isn’t repeated.

I checked the custom-app guidance: ram is an estimate of what the app needs, used by the wizard's memory check; it is not a Docker memory limit. The example starts at about 200 MB, but there is no verified InfiniDysk-specific figure here, so 1 GB may be a conservative estimate rather than a requirement. One next check: use the app's own documented memory recommendation if it provides one; otherwise leave out ram rather than guess. The earlier reply saying its meaning was unknown was incomplete; I’ve corrected what we know about this field.
