🙏 Feature Request: Please Stop using Cookies to store the Dashboard config

OMV devs, FWIW I absolutely love OMV and have been using it for a couple of years now, I even built my dad an OVM NAS in the last month.

However, there is one thing that drives me crazy; modern web browsers clear out cookies very frequently to prevent tracking, as a result I have to set up my dashboard at least once a week on each of my OMV servers, and it's a royal PITA.

So my request is; Please, Please Stop using Cookies to store the Dashboard config, please store it in the User Account/profile instead so we can configure it once and never have to worry about it again.

Cheers Derek

You can tell each modern browser to do not clear cookies for websites on an exception list. Storing the settings via cookies is by intention because this allows it to use different dashboard settings on various devices. I do not want to have the dashboard i have on my desktop in my phone for example.

That's fine, however I also access my OMV servers from multiple machines and I would really like to set this up once and forget about it.

This is a real PITA when I'm accessing my servers remotely via my web VPN solution, as each connection gets a different URL with a prefix like: 983cf621.mydomainname.com.

As a result all browsers think it's a new website each time.

I'd prefer this setting was simply part of the user profile, then it would be browser and access type agnostic. Using cookies for this sort of thing is really not optimal imo.

Arrrgh, this is getting really darn tiresome!!! I hardly ever access the web UI on my OMV servers (they are so darn reliable), but EVERY time I do, I have to reconfigure the Dashboard!

So, Please, Please Stop using Cookies to store the Dashboard config, please store it in the User Account/profile instead so we can configure it once and never have to worry about it again.

This was done almost two months ago. Update your system and read the changelog before complaining next time. https://github.com/openmediava…ault/debian/changelog#L88

Oh hooray! Considering the reaction I got to the original post, I assumed this request was being ignored.
