Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Nextcloud logs me out whenever I restart (sopuli.xyz)

edit 2: Restarting my laptop us causing the issue, not leaving/coming back to the local network!!! Interestingly, it doesn't ask me to log in once I'm at school (i.e. outside my local network), only when I'm in the local network.

edit: Forgot to mention, this issue only affects the desktop client! When using the web client with my browser, I am still logged in.

I have a nextcloud instance that is local to my network, and I don't trust my IT skills enough to secure my server in the internet, so it only works when I'm at home (or if I use something like Tailscale). I am content with leaving it that way, since I mostly self-host to back up my files, I'm not using anything like Jellyfin or Navidrome at the moment.

Everything seems to work fine, Nextcloud, Immich, my calendar, etc. all sync fine. However, it seems that Nextcloud doesn't remember my laptop, and logs me out ~~whenever I leave and come back to the network~~ whenever I restart, meaning I pretty much have to login every day. Why is this? How do I get Nextcloud to remember my laptop?

Then my first assumption is that the session token is not being correctly stored in kwallet. It can't restore the session after kwallet is closed.

You can open kwallet manager, and delete the wallet. This will prompt your system to re-create it next time you go to use something that needs it (wifi, nextcloud).

This will allow you to essentially reset the default wallet.

The typical settings for it are "blowfish" encryption with either a blank password (which encrypts nothing, but allows the wallet to always open reliably) or using the same password as your user (which allows the wallet to decrypt automatically upon login).
