<p>Having an app running perfectly on my local with docker.</p>
<p>When I deploy it, I can't get why a new session is started on each request. It seems it can't come from the code since it's exactly the same.</p>
<p>The session is stored on a redis DB (I have the same bug if I use the filesystem session). It's there I can see all the new session created. (see last code block).</p>
<p>From the log I can clearly identify that the <code>$request-&gt;getSession()-&gt;getId()</code> changes on each request but not the PHPSESSID cookie.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p><em>First request</em></p>
<pre><code>[2020-11-02 15:03:59] request.INFO: Matched route &quot;app_login&quot;. {&quot;route&quot;:&quot;app_login&quot;,&quot;route_parameters&quot;:{&quot;_route&quot;:&quot;app_login&quot;,&quot;_controller&quot;:&quot;App\\Controller\\SecurityController::login&quot;},&quot;request_uri&quot;:&quot;https://foo.bar.dev/login&quot;,&quot;method&quot;:&quot;POST&quot;} []

<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong></p>
<p>The issue was about the redis configuration.</p>
<p>I took the step of using <code>PdoSessionHandler</code> and it works. The problem comes from Redis and / or Kubernetes, I have been trying for 2 hours to point out the configuration which generates this bug but impossible for now.</p>
