There are some warnings regarding your setup.

• The PHP OPcache module is not properly configured. See the documentation ↗ for more information.

  • The OPcache buffer is nearly full. To assure that all scripts can be hold in cache, it is recommended to apply opcache.memory_consumption to your PHP configuration with a value higher than 128.
  • The OPcache interned strings buffer is nearly full. To assure that repeating strings can be effectively cached, it is recommended to apply opcache.interned_strings_buffer to your PHP configuration with a value higher than 8.

This is not really an error, but rather a warning to inform you that your OPcache resources may be running low, and it could be useful to increase the available resources.

The specific options can typically be adjusted in /etc/php/8.0/fpm/conf.d/10.opcache.conf – if the file does not exist, you can try to create it.

You need to adjust opcache.interned_strings_buffer and opcache.memory_consumption. E.g. Just increase their values for now:

opcache.interned_strings_buffer=16
opcache.memory_consumption=256

The conf.d directory is for user-configuration options, whereas direct php.ini modifications could be overwritten doing an update.
