'Allow Users to Specify SESSION_COOKIE_AGE in Django at Runtime
I'm specifying a default SESSION_COOKIE_AGE in the main settings.py file; however, I'd like admin users to be able to overwrite this value. This value should persist across server restarts.
My initial reaction was to store this in a single-row in a DB table and then write some middleware that would adjust the user's expiry date on each request to match the user-supplied SESSION_COOKIE_AGE; however, that seems like a lot of redundant db queries. Then I went down a signals rabbit hole and am considering creating two signals (post_save and connection_created) to handle: user updates to the user-supplied SESSION_COOKIE_AGE value stored in the DB as well as ensuring SESSION_COOKIE_AGE is updated upon the server starting. And finally I see all of these projects like django-constance, etc. to dynamically update settings constants at runtime.
Any suggestions on the most reliable / least error-prone architecture for this?
