After further investigation, [I’ve confirmed a bug in Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-web-interface-becomes-unresponsive-a-few-minutes-after-starting/76643/14), and it would be entirely capable of causing all of the seemingly unrelated symptoms you described. The linked post has more details and a rundown of how to downgrade Docker, which I’m pretty confident will solve all these problems.
