My server periodically shows 100% usage and the website will not load. Running top from the console shows no users. This started before the new release. It stops after several hours or I can stop the droplet and turn it on later. Camp Pix IMG_0486.jpeg
 
Hello Steve,

It sounds like your server might be experiencing high traffic from bots or crawlers. Enabling CloudFlare on your domain can help filter out unwanted traffic and protect your site.

Additionally, setting up a proxy for your installation can further improve performance and security.

If you need assistance with these steps, please let us know. Thank you for reaching out.
 
1) Enabled Cloudflare.
For the record, it really did take a full 48 hours for the DNS to consistently resolve.
2) I discovered that even though Chevereto showed my storage size within my account settings, that does not include the program and other files. So, I was just at/over my server account limit. (9,000 images). So, it did not hurt to upgrade from 35GB TO 50GB and from 1GB RAM to 2 GB. 😉
3) I turned on Under Attack for a few days.
4) Now the proxy works. I think that helped!
Things are now running smooth and resource use is acceptable.
So, I concur with the CloudFlare recommendation. It just takes time and learning curve.
 
A detail that I omitted above.
UPDATE: When enablling Proxy in DNS (CloudFlare), you may get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

SOLUTION: The default SSL/TLS is "Flexible" - that is the problem.
There are two options for "FULL", it appears either of these works.

Cloudflare provides some useful statistics, even with the free account.
