Description Gal Zaidman 2020-03-29 11:40:29 UTC

Description of problem:
On cockpit 209 a inactivity timeout of 15 minutes has been added,
Since the installation doesn't save state, this can cause problems.
See:
https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-209.html

Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-03-30 06:29:09 UTC

let's disable it in cockpit.conf.

Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2020-03-30 09:55:36 UTC

how would you configure it automatically, from within cockpit once you start deploy?

There is no good way of doing it, I sent an email to cockpit devel to suggest extending the timeout and providing a more flexible way of configuring it (with the package manifest config file and/or cockpit API). We will wait to their reply before starting to implement a solution.
In the meantime the workaround is to configure the /etc/cockpit.conf file as described in:

+1 for configuring it in cockpit.conf for now till cockpit team have better solution, targeting to 4.4.0

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-04-01 11:17:32 UTC

Let's try to get this in this week.
