Fix Chatwoot Image Latency
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Images inside my self-hosted Chatwoot have suddenly started taking 10 + seconds to appear whenever I open a conversation. The storage backend is an S3-compatible MinIO bucket running on the same server, and up until recently everything loaded instantly. I personally suspect something inside Chatwoot is stalling the download stream, but MinIO, Nginx, Docker networking or even the underlying VPS could still be part of the story—I need a clear, data-backed answer. The slowdown happens all day long, so it isn’t a peak-traffic issue.
You will have SSH access to the machine (Ubuntu, Docker deployment) plus the Chatwoot and MinIO containers. I’d like you to:
• Trace the request path end-to-end, review logs and configs for Chatwoot, MinIO, Nginx and the host OS.
• Pinpoint what changed between the previously fast behaviour and today’s latency.
• Optimise the stack—whether that means tweaking Chatwoot asset settings, tuning MinIO or its disk, adjusting Nginx proxy buffers, or fixing a network/SSL bottleneck—until images load snappily again.
• Apply the fix and show me the results so I can verify in real time.
Experience with Chatwoot, MinIO/S3, Docker-Compose and Linux performance debugging is essential. If you’re comfortable diving into Ruby logs, Docker networks and S3 signatures, this should be a straightforward but interesting investigation.
