Maintenance

Disabling inactive accounts

Accounts are automatically disabled after a set period of inactivity according to the USER_INACTIVE_DAYS config value. The script that disables accounts periodically can also be manually run if needed with different values. For example:

docker compose exec app ./manage.py disable_inactive_accounts --days=10

Clearing caches

Caches are automatically invalidated when:

• the application is started/restarted
• any model instance changes (only from apps where the auto_clear_cache flag is SET).

There may, however, be scenarios where manually clearing the cache is required. This can be manually accomplished by running the following command:

docker compose exec app ./manage.py clear_cache

To disable caching altogether, set the env variable to 0:

CACHE_TIMEOUT=0
