I was setting up a development environment and ran into

play.api.UnexpectedException: Unexpected exception[TimeoutException: Future timed out after [5 seconds]]

Although the onboarding suggests it's an issue with the websocket connection, it was actually an issue with the MongoDB connection timeout being manually set to 5 seconds

private lazy val db: DefaultDB = Chronometer.syncEffect(
  driver
    .connect(uri, name.some)
    .flatMap(_ database dbName)
    .await(5.seconds, s"db:$name")
    // ...

I changed the line to 60 seconds and lila worked fine.

[info] db.main - MongoDB connected to lichess in 5627.00 ms

Is there a workaround for this besides manually changing the code? Is it possible that this could be added into base.config? Or added to the onboarding?
