Plex Server takes more than 5 minutes to respond to simple library queries

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: Version 1.15.6.1079
Player Version#: Web client Version 3.95.2

My server consistently stops responding to requests and takes a LONG time to process simple library queries. The log below shows the server taking 5 minutes and 47 seconds to load a movie page. This happens 90% of the time while I’m browsing the library.
This is running in the official Docker container. The machine has 4GB of RAM free. The Plex container never uses more than 900MB during this log file. The machine also never exceeds 12% CPU during this log file.
Once a show is playing, it works great with both Direct Stream and transcoding. It’s only the Library navigation that has a problem. I tried optimizing the database and also completely deleted the installation and re-installed everything from scratch. I continue to get the same behavior. Any help debugging this would be appreciated!

Here’s an annotated log: https://gist.github.com/rsteckler/7d377e515226237f574f5d61689e5c80

Is there any additional information I can provide to help diagnose this?
One additional thing I’ve noticed is that during playback the number of “live” connections can exceed 1,000. This seems like a problem.

I took a new log in verbose mode, but the log shows nothing useful. Just a blank spot for between 20 seconds and 5 minutes on random calls.

Figured it out. Sqlite is used for the Plex database and doesn’t like being run on NFS mounts.
