when I run the 'free' command it shows my VPS (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64bit) as having 8gb total, 7 of which is "free"...

free command result (Gb)

free command result (Gb decimal)

free command result (MB)

free command result (kb)

From what I understood from this question, free memory is supposed to be very little while available should be a lot more than it is.

How can I find out why this is and fix it?

  • Showing in GB gives a very vague incomplete picture due to rounding: some categories here are rounding to 0. You may want to look at it in MB or KB instead. – thomasrutter Oct 19 '18 at 10:25
  • Not sure how that would make a difference, but I'll add those as well. – Lucy Oct 19 '18 at 10:26

    Please don't post photographies of text when actual text will do. In other words: please use copy&paste to share the output of your commands in text form. – PerlDuck Oct 19 '18 at 10:56
