XF 2.2 Should I do anything special to XF instances installed on my local computer (for dev and offline-maintenance purposes)?

[ShikiSuen]

I got this notification on my mac mini, despite that it is a local install (not on a web server accessible on the internet).

P.S.: a mac computer in a local intranet ends with ".local" as a part of its identity name.

P.P.S.: Offline maintenance is required when some major changes towards themes or phrases can cause overwhelming performance pressure to my VPS.

This might be generated by the fact it can't access the internet to check licensing.

Actually, XF instances installed on my mac mini can fetch and install XF updates directly through the admincp.

That is normal, it is because the license is configured for your online installation not your offline one. You can ignore that message.

The software does have code for certain dev URLs such as localhost, dev, test, etc., but otherwise that message can be ignored.

Is this related to the situation that admin login sessions get frequently kicked out in such local instances?

No, that's unrelated.

In general, admin sessions should not be forcibly closed.

You can extend the admin session time by adding this to the src/config.php file:

$c['session.admin'] = function (\XF\Container $c)
{
    $session = new \XF\Session\Session($c['session.admin.storage'], [
        'cookie' => 'session_admin',
        'lifetime' => 86400
    ]);
    return $session->start($c['request']);
};

There are some other useful switches documented here: https://xenforo.com/community/resou...-test-site.2792/updates#resource-update-36689

Thanks for your trick. Looks like the kick-out issue is related to my macOS nginx configuration, possibly.
