Discourse is deployed via a container in 1Panel, with a reverse proxy configured for access. The website is used primarily for personal knowledge management; registration is disabled, and only I am online. The VPS specifications are 10 vCore (ARM64), 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB NVMe.
The Discourse logs frequently show warnings similar to the following error:
> DistributedMutex(“memoize\_lock\_post##2f7d40f44a4b0fa66a711ca8f2ff9278fed9fa72”): held for too long, expected max: 1 secs, took an extra 1 secs
