Host OS: Ubuntu 19.04 Container: lxd 3.15 rev 11270 (snap core 16-2.39.3 rev 7270) Container OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Running: snap core 16-2.39.3 rev 7270 snap nextcloud 16.0.3snap1rc1 rev 14625 Question: How do I set a session timeout for inactive users. The fact that sessions stay open so long as I don’t explicitly logout is, from a security standpoint, problematic. I have searched google/help.nextcloud and can’t seem to find an answer that I would understand within the context of using the snap package version of Nextcloud. Any ideas? Thank you! ---
