Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by tracing how the Docker setup passes configuration to wallabag and how wallabag names the REMEMBERME and PHPSESSID cookies; done means separate containers no longer overwrite each other's session cookies, with the requested prefix or configuration option documented.

Description

Hello,

I am running this along with a few dozen other containers on a small home server with podman under one IP (using different port numbers for each service). It works pretty well aside from one issue: session cookie names often conflict causing frequent log outs.

wallabag uses generic names "REMEMBERME" and to a lesser extent "PHPSESSID". Would it be possible to append a unique prefix to the session ID cookie name (ie: 'wallabag_REMEMBERME') or allow us to add a prefix using an environment variable?

Thank you :)
