| This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| GITEA_CUSTOM=/home/gitea/custom ./gitea web
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## From Go language
 | |
| 
 | |
| As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some Go variables, such as:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `GOOS`
 | |
| - `GOARCH`
 | |
| - [`GOPATH`](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable)
 | |
| 
 | |
| For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the
 | |
| [official Go documentation](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Gitea files
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `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`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Operating system specifics
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Only on 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
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Miscellaneous
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
