How to disable the update checker

Hello Dimitar!

It's not possible to disable the update checker at the moment as well as the social media auth modules. Could you please provide some more details, why do you want to disable these features? How do they interfere with your usual workflows?

Thanks.

Hi Lyubov,

Our environment is entirely cut off from the internet and as a result, we see ugly exception in the logs from the update checker. Our operations guys are generally reluctant to add exceptions to the monitoring configuration, hence I am asking whether we can disable it.

The social auth modules do not cause problems, but create clutter and there is always the chance that somebody attempts to configure them (which obviously wouldn't work without internet access).

I understand that right now it is not possible to disable these, but please consider for the future.

Thank you,
Dimitar

Could you please paste here an example of an exception you see in the logs because of the update checker? Please paste the full stack trace.

Thanks!
