~~I investigated further. It seems to be a general problem of docker. I'm closing it for now.~~  
Continuing invetigation.

I observed that task #11 is constantly failing:

```auto
joplin-server | 08:31:16 0|app | 2024-09-20 08:31:08: [error] TaskService: Failed running task #11 (Process shared items) KnexTimeoutError: Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection. The pool is proba
bly full. Are you missing a .transacting(trx) call?

```

Meanwhlie, the failing task seems to be the same one, because new tasks cannot be scheduled:

```auto
joplin-server | 08:38:07 0|app | 2024-09-20 08:38:07: [warn] TaskService: Tried to start #11 (Process shared items) but it was already running
