Datasette needs to be able to set signed cookies - which means it needs a mechanism for safely handling a signing secret.

Since Datasette is a long-running process the default behaviour here can be to create a random secret on startup. This means that if the server restarts any signed cookies will be invalidated.

If the user wants a persistent secret they'll have to generate it themselves - maybe by setting an environment variable?",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/785/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
