New to the game - PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES

[Maikpoe]

Hello everybody,

As I mentioned in the title, I'm very new to Linux (Ubuntu), Docker, and all the related tools I've learned about in the last few days to get Papermerge running.

I successfully created a cron job that takes documents scanned with our floor printer and imports them into Papermerge using papermerge-cli.

Now, I can't figure out where to place PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES to extend the token expiration beyond the default 6 hours.

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't seem clear enough for me to understand.

Could anyone explain this to me?

Best regards,
Maik

Do you use docker compose for setup?
If yes, then you need to place it along other environment variables (e.g. among capitalized environment variables from screenshot below):

Thank you for your rly fast reply sir and your time!

Yes I'm using the docker composer setup.

So if understanding correctly I will add the below line in the environment section first , restarting the docker container and generating a new token afterwards?

PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=10080

What about the format of the line? Everything within the file is separated by : , in the documentation
PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES is separated from his value with a =
Maybe I'm missing some fundamentals to understand the difference or I'm just dump^^
