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

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

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

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.
