My phpldapadmin isntance is up since Jan 2023. Today I had a out of space failure on the machine, Looking at the container data, it looks like php sessions files are never cleaned up.

My temporary workaround is to delete sessions files older than 30 days using a cron task: docker exec --user root phpldapadmin-phpldapadmin-1 find /var/lib/php/sessions -mtime +30 -type f -delete

Oh, wow. Looks like session garbage collection can be controlled through php.ini, but Debian has it disabled by default and uses a cron-job for cleaning (which doesn't work in this case).

The solution seems to be to simply enable it in php.ini, so I'll have the fix out soon.

I don't have an easy way to test that the session GC actually works, so could you help and confirm that it works for you?
