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, meaning I pretty much have to login every day. Why is this? How do I get Nextcloud to remember my laptop?


Nextcloud shouldn’t be seeing your MAC address. However, my guess is that Nextcloud has been configured to invalidate the session if the client IP changes, and randomizing the MAC address is one way that can happen.
