Question on user timeout logout #1339
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @cb3inco on GitHub (Sep 4, 2019).
I had a user ask about the timeouts of users that are logged in. I've run into this myself and unsure what the length logged in before a user is logged out. There doesn't seem to be any onscreen prompt that a logout is pending.
Is there a way to manipulate the timeout to be something longer in the config?
I suppose a on screen alert or timeout function in the UI would be a feature request. Thanks.

Hi
You can manipulate the session lifetime in your .env file. See here

Thanks! I got it.

Is that 120 minutes? I faced an issue where I spend 1 hour in creating a document and when I saved the document, the document expired as I was logged out.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 29, 2021):
Yeah. While editing, the draft-saving system should prolong your session anyway (Or show an error after if it attempts while the session is expired).
@BloodyIron commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2022):
Does draft-saving prolong the session here, or are drafts periodically saved automatically to avoid this dataloss? Can you advise on this @ssddanbrown ? It's a concerning topic.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2022):
@BloodyIron I think drafts should autosave 30 seconds after any change IIRC. A draft save should prolong the session.
You could still get a session timeout scenario though if sitting on the edit view without changes.
If you then continued to edit then the next draft save attempt should show a warning regarding the expired session.
@BloodyIron commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2022):
@ssddanbrown thanks! I think those details would be worth putting on the Documentation page so that others can know that expected behaviour without having to dig for it. :) I'll have to test that behaviour ;)
Also, is SESSION_TIMEOUT in seconds or minutes? I see the env variable default to 120, but unsure units of measurement. (this being declared somewhere, the units, would also be helpful IMO)

@BloodyIron
Minutes
@BloodyIron commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2022):
Thanks for clarifying @ssddanbrown !
@BloodyIron commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2022):
Also thanks for all your work on Bookstack and such! I really like it so far :D

Sorry to reactivate the old thread, but does anyone knows if there are any limits in how many minutes we can set here? In the instructions it says "240", but I am not sure if that is just an example or a hard limit. I will try either way, but if someone knows already, that would save me some time testing it. Thank you!
