The only one of those warnings that could _possibly_ cause problems on a small site is the THP one (and even then only if you’re unlucky). If you ever hit that `somaxconn` limit you’re doing _very_ well, and `overcommit_memory` will cause problems on save, but won’t slow anything down.

All those referenced paths are on the outer system, not in the container.
