I managed to fix it by running a newer version than what was avaialble at the Debian repos.
It's now at 83% sync. It's running on my home server on an nvme with gigabit internet, so the conditions are pretty good.
Here is the command in case it helps anyone:
```
docker run -d --restart always --name monerod -v /flash/monero/:/home/monero/.bitmonero --user 1000:1000 --network "container:gluetun" ghcr.io/sethforprivacy/simple-monerod:v0.18.4.5 --rpc-restricted-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-restricted-bind-port=18089 --no-igd --no-zmq --enable-dns-blocklist --ban-list=/home/monero/ban_list.txt
```
It's more or less the recommended parameters from the Docker image repo, with the addition of running it as unprivileged and behind a VPN (gluetun).
