I tried to delete and recreate the container, but there’s still this insane power consumption.
For comparison, cloudflared doing a tunnel to hundreds of users takes 0.06% of CPU time on the same server
Why is your system load >5 with such little CPU usage? Seems like there is a lot of i/o on your system.
If it’s network traffic going over your VPN that could explain it.
Because that’s a docker container on a “busy” server (mostly WordPress wasting cycles generating pages for some bots that really have to visit my blog over and over and over and over)

you might want to look into getting wordpress to generate static pages and only deliver the static html.
Overall using bloging tools that generate static pages is better than constantly requesting DB and dynamically compiling each page every time there is a request
