Express-session secret regenerated on every container restart, causing infinite login loop
증상
The OpenClaw UI becomes permanently inaccessible after any container restart due to the express-session secret being regenerated on startup, which invalidates all browser sessions and causes an infinite login loop.
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
may need to come from Hostinger rather than the OpenClaw team, but filing here for visibility.
Proposed fix — persist the session secret across restarts using a file-based approach:
const secretFile = ‘/data/.openclaw/.express-session-secret’; let secret; if (fs.existsSync(secretFile)) { secret = fs.readFileSync(secretFile, ‘utf8’).trim(); } else { secret = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString(‘hex’); fs.writeFileSync(secretFile, secret, { mode: 0o600 }); }
