Discovered why my Friendica server has an occasional massive load spike for several minutes: it’s running out of physical RAM and thrashing the swap.

Machine it’s on only has 2 gigs. I have an old 2015 MacBook Pro that is in a very dilapidated state, but it works perfectly as an Ubuntu server.

Will migrate to that. It has 8 gigs of RAM. That should be plenty.
