| # 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:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * `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
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Macaron (framework used by Gitea)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * `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".
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Miscellaneous
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
