User Session Performance
------------------------
The default file-based sessions are only suitable for smaller setups, or
instances that doesn't have a lot of users or traffic.
They are set as default option because it's setup-free solution.
The most common issue of file based sessions are file limit errors which occur
if there are lots of session files.
Therefore, in a large scale deployment, to give better performance,
scalability, and maintainability we recommend switching from file-based
sessions to database-based user sessions or Redis based sessions.
To switch to database-based user sessions uncomment the following section in
your :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file.
.. code-block:: ini
## db based session, fast, and allows easy management over logged in users
beaker.session.type = ext:database
beaker.session.table_name = db_session
# use just one of the following according to the type of database
beaker.session.sa.url = postgresql://postgres:secret@localhost/rhodecode
# or
beaker.session.sa.url = mysql://root:secret@127.0.0.1/rhodecode
beaker.session.sa.pool_recycle = 3600
beaker.session.sa.echo = false
and make sure you comment out the file based sessions.
.. code-block:: ini
## types are file, ext:memcached, ext:database, and memory (default).
#beaker.session.type = file
#beaker.session.data_dir = %(here)s/data/sessions/data
The `table_name` will be automatically created on specified database if it isn't yet existing.
Database specified in the `beaker.session.sa.url` can be the same that RhodeCode
uses, or if required it can be a different one. We recommend to use the same database.
To switch to reds-based user sessions uncomment the following section in
your :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file.
.. code-block:: ini
## redis sessions
beaker.session.type = ext:redis
beaker.session.url = localhost:6379
and make sure you comment out the file based sessions.
.. code-block:: ini
## types are file, ext:memcached, ext:database, and memory (default).
#beaker.session.type = file
#beaker.session.data_dir = %(here)s/data/sessions/data
