Question

Many thanks to the rocker team for this awesome repo!

Question regarding inactivity timeout:

The default rocker behavior is to log the user out after 60 minutes of inactivity? Is there a way to turn this off and/or to change the amount of time before the logout occurs?

It seems that the setting can be changed by editing /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf. See https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/5449#issuecomment-534184951.

Since this file is editable by the script executed by the container's default command (/init), it is possible to add functionality to configure it. https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned2/blob/67f04adb7ae313d29a31087394bd3340f62c22a8/scripts/init_userconf.sh#L14-L17
