Is it possible to increase the session.gc_maxlifetime php.ini setting?

[KenBW2]

I'm debugging a problem where I'm logged out of NC on a regular basis. I haven't found a consistent time, but it's on a daily basis and is really annoying

I note that the session_lifetime is limited by the session.gc_maxlifetime php.ini setting, which is the default 24 minutes

How do I go about increasing the session.gc_maxlifetime php.ini setting to see if that's the issue?

Hi, in AIO we are using redis sessions:

all-in-one/Containers/nextcloud/entrypoint.sh

Line 24 in ffe5ba2

session.save_handler = redis

So I doubt that increasing this value will fix the problem. However you could temporarily change the valur inside the container and check if that actually improves things.

However I rather think that you are running into this: nextcloud/server#37492

I saw #3674 which seems to describe exactly the problem I have. That post is locked and linked to here.

So... what exactly am I supposed to do?

@szaimen The Redis session handler still utilizes the session.gc_maxlifetime value:

Thanks for the link @joshtrichards! This explains things :)

This is getting worked on in #5497
