Hi, I’m reusing this topic since it’s still open and we are having the same problem after migrating to a new virtual server. Just like everyone else says it never took me more than 20 minutes to rebuild our Discourse, but in this new server it takes hours, and it has double the resources than the previous one. 🤔

I have checked other topics about hour-long upgrades on Meta but I can’t figure out what is the problem with ours:

Server: 4Gb RAM, 2CPU, 50 Gb disk.

Swap:

```plaintext
/$ free
               total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3911740 507208 2318476 268 1384032 3404532
Swap: 4095976 45472 4050504

```

Docker:

```plaintext

Looks normal to me but maybe I’m missing something. Where else can we look?
