[Suggestion] PHP Sessions - custom.ini

[pdunne]

Hi,

I am testing your docker image internally and I came across an issue with sessions.

I'll start with the solution I found to my problem:

I added this to custom.ini in the ./config subfolder session.auto_start = 0

I also made sure to add this to /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/custom.ini inside my docker image before restarting it (since I already had a running image).

Problem If I remained logged in on a device, which then went to sleep, or internet connection, upon reconnection I was automatically logged out of Leantime. And then every time I tried to log back in, I was redirected to the login page. I cleared the cookies from my browser, and tried logging in using other browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chromium), but I had the same problem. I also deleted the files in the /sessions/ directory. Before I found the above solution, the only way to resolve it was to restart the docker images.

Errors from the log

This is what helped me identify the problem:
