Ever since I installed appwrite locally, I noticed huge docker RAM consumption and appwrite and hello-world are the only available Docker images on my laptop, how to I stop the freezing?

TL;DR
The user is experiencing high RAM consumption on their laptop due to running Appwrite on Docker. They have tried using `docker stats` and `top`/`htop` to monitor usage. The user mentions that Appwrite is taking up to 2.2GB of RAM from startup. Another issue they encountered is the Appwrite CLI not working properly after uninstalling and reinstalling it. They are seeking assistance in stopping the freezing caused by high RAM consumption. Solution: The responder suggests that the high RAM consumption issue may be related to Docker rather than Appwrite. They inquire about the amount of RAM available on the user's machine.

This seems like a docker issue. How much RAM does your machine have? A fresh install of appwrite takes no more than 1.2 GB on docker. If you have a project with lots of data, and lots of operations happening, there is bound to be some ram usage 😅

I noticed while trying to use the local installation of appwrite on docker, the cloud cli didn't want to give way after uninstalling and installing appwrite cli, the project kept interrupting

You can run docker stats to see docker's usage.

top or htop can show you usage for your whole unix server
