From 3796ddc2881420fd335e5f64fa44cf96e7b69882 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eamonn O'Brien-Strain Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2022 18:47:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Document that default IP retention is now 2 days. Also add a brief description of this setting. The change in retention is in the code repo in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/22393 so this commit should only be merged into main if that pull request is also merged. --- content/en/admin/config.md | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/content/en/admin/config.md b/content/en/admin/config.md index 431754d0..63ab3e43 100644 --- a/content/en/admin/config.md +++ b/content/en/admin/config.md @@ -634,7 +634,10 @@ Defaults to `1.1` #### `IP_RETENTION_PERIOD` -Defaults to `31536000` (1 year) +This controls how long (in seconds) the server stores the IP addresses of people connecting to the server.
