All my clients log out after several minutes of normal operation

Dear Nextcloud Community,

Nextcloud version: 18.0.4
Operating system and version: Debian 4.9.65
Apache or nginx version: Apache 2.4.10
PHP version: 7.3

The issue I am facing: My android, windows and macOS clients loose connection to my nextcloud around 5 to 10 minutes after I granted them access to the cloud. The client then changes status to “signed out from nextcloud.domain.com”. I can reconnect the clients and they resume normal operation for about 5 to 10 minutes until the next disconnect.

  • The nextcloud installation is totally fresh, only running a single day so far. I tried to get rid of the problem by reinstalling but it did not help.
  • I run on a shared hoster and don’t have knowledge about the whole system.
  • Installation of the Nextcloud is done by a service of the shared hoster.
  • I have acess to the httpd.conf.
  • By now I updated to 18.0.4 because I was hoping this might solve the problem, which it did not.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? No

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Install new nextcloud 18.0.3
  2. connect a client to the cloud
  3. wait for 10 minutes

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you had any luck in finding the cause and fixing it in the meantime? I have a similar problem in "Session token credentials are invalid" a few minutes after login - #3 by turion.
