Huge ram usage

[BhasherBEL]

Description

Running an empty CouchDB on my laptop usage a lot of RAM (around 1.5GB), even without any specific configuration. On any other support I was able to test, it was way more small.

Steps to Reproduce

Dockerfile:

FROM couchdb:latest

ADD local.ini /opt/couchdb/etc

docker-compose:

services:
  db:
    build:
      context: .
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      restart_policy:
        condition: on-failure

docker stats:

(in fact, I'm using 5 instances of couchDB, all with exactly the same Dockerfile and docker-compose. The only difference is the db name in docker-compose)

Expected Behaviour

I was expecting way smaller ram usage from each CouchDB instance.

Additional Context

Hey,

according to this, I would say that the output of this command is the memory usage of the container, not from couchdb.

Indeed, but it's the official CouchDB image, that only run CouchDB. In such cases, is there a way to extract the usage of CouchDB specifically, inside the CouchDB container ?

It is provided for convience for the user.
