Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer?

This is normal. Linux caches disk reads so that you don’t have to go to her/SSD to reread blocks. If your app isn’t using the ram Linux will use it instead.

Zero reason to be concerned, because if your app allocates more memory Linux will evict the cached pages to make sure your apps have plenty of space.
