Configuration Cheat Sheet

This is a cheat sheet for the Gitea configuration file. It contains most settings that can configured as well as their default values.

Any changes to the Gitea configuration file should be made in custom/conf/app.ini or any corresponding location. When installing from a distribution, this will typically be found at /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini.

The defaults provided here are best-effort (not built automatically). They are accurately recorded in app.ini.sample (s/master/<tag|release>). Any string in the format %(X)s is a feature powered by ini, for reading values recursively.

Values containing # or ; must be quoted using ` or """.

Note: A full restart is required for Gitea configuration changes to take effect.

Overall (DEFAULT)

  • APP_NAME: Gitea: Git with a cup of tea: Application name, used in the page title.
  • RUN_USER: git: The user Gitea will run as. This should be a dedicated system (non-user) account. Setting this incorrectly will cause Gitea to not start.
  • RUN_MODE: dev: For performance and other purposes, change this to prod when deployed to a production environment. The installation process will set this to prod automatically. [prod, dev, test]

Repository (repository)

  • ROOT: ~/gitea-repositories/: Root path for storing all repository data. It must be an absolute path.

  • FORCE_PRIVATE: false: Force every new repository to be private.
  • DEFAULT_PRIVATE: last: Default private when creating a new repository.
    [last, private, publi
  • MAX_CREATION_LIMIT: -1: Global maximum creation limit of repositories per user, -1 means no limit.
  • PULL_REQUEST_QUEUE_LENGTH: 1000: Length of pull request patch test queue, make it as large as possible. Use caution when editing this value.
