Specific variables

This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.

Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:

GITEA_CUSTOM=/home/gitea/custom ./gitea web

From Go language

As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some Go variables, such as:

For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the official Go documentation.

GITEA_WORK_DIR: Absolute path of working directory.
GITEA_CUSTOM: Gitea uses GITEA_WORK_DIR/custom folder by default. Use this variable to change custom directory.
GOGS_WORK_DIR: Deprecated, use GITEA_WORK_DIR
GOGS_CUSTOM: Deprecated, use GITEA_CUSTOM

USER: System user that Gitea will run as. Used for some repository access strings.
USERNAME: if no USER found, Gitea will use USERNAME
HOME: User home directory path. The USERPROFILE environment variable is used in Windows.

USERPROFILE: User home directory path. If empty, uses HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH
HOMEDRIVE: Main drive path used to access the home directory (C:)
HOMEPATH: Home relative path in the given home drive path

HOST: Host Macaron will listen on
PORT: Port Macaron will listen on
MACARON_ENV: global variable to provide special functionality for development environments vs. production environments. If MACARON_ENV is set to "" or "development" then templates will be recompiled on every request. For more performance, set the MACARON_ENV environment variable to "production".
