In the default values below, a value in the form `$XYZ` refers to an environment variable. (However, see `environment-to-ini`.) Values in the form _`XxYyZz`_ refer to values listed as part of the default configuration. These notation forms will not work in your own `app.ini` file and are only listed here as documentation.
These values are environment-dependent but form the basis of a lot of values. They will be
reported as part of the default configuration when running `gitea --help` or on start-up. The order they are emitted there is slightly different but we will list them here in the order they are set-up.
- _`AppPath`_: This is the absolute path of the running gitea binary.
- _`AppWorkPath`_: This refers to "working path" of the `gitea` binary. It is determined by using the first set thing in the following hierarchy:
- The `--work-path` flag passed to the binary
- The environment variable `$GITEA_WORK_DIR`
- A built-in value set at build time (see building from source)
- Otherwise it defaults to the directory of the _`AppPath`_
- If any of the above are relative paths then they are made absolute against the
the directory of the _`AppPath`_
- _`CustomPath`_: This is the base directory for custom templates and other options.
It is determined by using the first set thing in the following hierarchy:
- The `--custom-path` flag passed to the binary
- The environment variable `$GITEA_CUSTOM`
- A built-in value set at build time (see building from source)
- Otherwise it defaults to _`AppWorkPath`_`/custom`
- If any of the above are relative paths then they are made absolute against the
the directory of the _`AppWorkPath`_
- _`CustomConf`_: This is the path to the `app.ini` file.
- The `--config` flag passed to the binary
- A built-in value set at build time (see building from source)
- Otherwise it defaults to _`CustomPath`_`/conf/app.ini`
- If any of the above are relative paths then they are made absolute against the
the directory of the _`CustomPath`_
In addition there is _`StaticRootPath`_ which can be set as a built-in at build time, but will otherwise default to _`AppWorkPath`_

Allowed values: \[repo.code, repo.releases, repo.issues, repo.pulls, repo.wiki, repo.projects, repo.packages, repo.actions\]. Note: Code and Releases can currently not be deactivated. If you specify default repo units you should still list them for future compatibility. External wiki and issue tracker can't be enabled by default as it requires additional settings. Disabled repo units will not be added to new repositories regardless if it is in the default list.

-`POPULATE_SQUASH_COMMENT_WITH_COMMIT_MESSAGES`: **false**: In default squash-merge messages include the commit message of all commits comprising the pull request.
-`TEST_CONFLICTING_PATCHES_WITH_GIT_APPLY`: **false**: PR patches are tested using a three-way merge method to discover if there are conflicts. If this setting is set to **true**, conflicting patches will be retested using `git apply` - This was the previous behaviour in 1.18 (and earlier) but is somewhat inefficient. Please report if you find that this setting is required.
-`ALLOWED_TYPES`: **\<empty\>**: Comma-separated list of allowed file extensions (`.zip`), mime types (`text/plain`) or wildcard type (`image/*`, `audio/*`, `video/*`). Empty value or `*/*` allows all types.

Multiple keys should be comma separated. E.g.`ssh-<algorithm><key>` or `ssh-<algorithm> <key1>, ssh-<algorithm> <key2>`. For more information see `TrustedUserCAKeys` in the sshd config man pages. When empty no file will be created and `SSH_AUTHORIZED_PRINCIPALS_ALLOW` will default to `off`.
-`SSH_TRUSTED_USER_CA_KEYS_FILENAME`: **`RUN_USER`/.ssh/gitea-trusted-user-ca-keys.pem**: Absolute path of the `TrustedUserCaKeys` file Gitea will manage. If you're running your own ssh server and you want to use the Gitea managed file you'll also need to modify your sshd_config to point to this file. The official docker image will automatically work without further configuration.
-`SSH_AUTHORIZED_PRINCIPALS_ALLOW`: **off** or **username, email**: \[off, username, email, anything\]: Specify the principals values that users are allowed to use as principal. When set to `anything` no checks are done on the principal string. When set to `off` authorized principal are not allowed to be set.

-`ENABLE_ACME`: **false**: Flag to enable automatic certificate management via an ACME capable Certificate Authority (CA) server (default: Lets Encrypt). If enabled, `CERT_FILE` and `KEY_FILE` are ignored, and the CA must resolve `DOMAIN` to this gitea server. Ensure that DNS records are set and either port `80` or port `443` are accessible by the CA server (the public internet by default), and redirected to the appropriate ports `PORT_TO_REDIRECT` or `HTTP_PORT` respectively.
-`ACME_URL`: **\<empty\>**: The CA's ACME directory URL, e.g. for a self-hosted [smallstep CA server](https://github.com/smallstep/certificates), it can look like `https://ca.example.com/acme/acme/directory`. If left empty, it defaults to using Let's Encerypt's production CA (check `LETSENCRYPT_ACCEPTTOS` as well).

-`ALLOW_GRACEFUL_RESTARTS`: **true**: Perform a graceful restart on SIGHUP
-`GRACEFUL_HAMMER_TIME`: **60s**: After a restart the parent process will stop accepting new connections and will allow requests to finish before stopping. Shutdown will be forced if it takes longer than this time.
-`STARTUP_TIMEOUT`: **0**: Shutsdown the server if startup takes longer than the provided time. On Windows setting this sends a waithint to the SVC host to tell the SVC host startup may take some time. Please note startup is determined by the opening of the listeners - HTTP/HTTPS/SSH. Indexers may take longer to startup and can have their own timeouts.
-`PASSWD`: **\<empty\>**: Database user password. Use \`your password\` or """your password""" for quoting if you use special characters in the password.
-`true`: Enable TLS with verification of the database server certificate against its root certificate. When selecting this option make sure that the root certificate required to validate the database server certificate (e.g. the CA certificate) is on the system certificate store of both the database and Gitea servers. See your system documentation for instructions on how to add a CA certificate to the certificate store.
-`false`: Disable TLS.

-`CHARSET`: **utf8mb4**: For MySQL only, either "utf8" or "utf8mb4". NOTICE: for "utf8mb4" you must use MySQL InnoDB > 5.6. Gitea is unable to check this.
-`CONN_MAX_LIFETIME`**0 or 3s**: Sets the maximum amount of time a DB connection may be reused - default is 0, meaning there is no limit (except on MySQL where it is 3s - see #6804ᮟ).
-`ISSUE_INDEXER_TYPE`: **bleve**: Issue indexer type, currently supported: `bleve`, `db` or `elasticsearch`.

-`ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_DIR`: **queues/common**: When `ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE` is `levelqueue`, this will be the path where the queue will be saved. **DEPRECATED** use settings in `[queue.issue_indexer]`. Relative paths will be made absolute against `%(APP_DATA_PATH)s`.
-`ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_CONN_STR`: **addrs=127.0.0.1:6379 db=0**: When `ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE` is `redis`, this will store the redis connection string. When `ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE` is `levelqueue`, this is a directory or additional options of the form `leveldb://path/to/db?option=value&....`, and overrides `ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_DIR`. **DEPRECATED** use settings in `[queue.issue_indexer]`.
-`ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_BATCH_NUMBER`: **20**: Batch queue number. **DEPRECATED** use settings in `[queue.issue_indexer]`.

-`STARTUP_TIMEOUT`: **30s**: If the indexer takes longer than this timeout to start - fail. (This timeout will be added to the hammer time above for child processes - as bleve will not start until the previous parent is shutdown.) Set to -1 to never timeout.
-`DATADIR`: **queues/**: Base DataDir for storing persistent and level queues. `DATADIR` for individual queues can be set in `queue.name` sections but will default to `DATADIR/`**`common`**. (Previously each queue would default to `DATADIR/`**`name`**.) Relative paths will be made absolute against `%(APP_DATA_PATH)s`.
-`CONN_STR`: **redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0**: Connection string for the redis queue type. Options can be set using query params. Similarly LevelDB options can also be set using: **leveldb://relative/path?option=value** or **leveldb:///absolute/path?option=value**, and will override `DATADIR`
-`QUEUE_NAME`: **_queue**: The suffix for default redis and disk queue name. Individual queues will default to **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME` but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
-`SET_NAME`: **_unique**: The suffix that will be added to the default redis and disk queue `set` name for unique queues. Individual queues will default to

-`MAX_ATTEMPTS`: **10**: Maximum number of attempts to create the wrapped queue
-`TIMEOUT`: **GRACEFUL_HAMMER_TIME + 30s**: Timeout the creation of the wrapped queue if it takes longer than this to create.
- Queues by default come with a dynamically scaling worker pool. The following settings configure this:
-`MAX_WORKERS`: **10**: Maximum number of worker go-routines for the queue.
-`BLOCK_TIMEOUT`: **1s**: If the queue blocks for this time, boost the number of workers - the `BLOCK_TIMEOUT` will then be doubled before boosting again whilst the boost is ongoing.
-`BOOST_TIMEOUT`: **5m**: Boost workers will timeout after this long.
Certain queues have defaults that override the defaults set in `[queue]` (this occurs mostly to support older configuration):
-`[queue.issue_indexer]`
-`TYPE` this will default to `[queue]``TYPE` if it is set but if not it will appropriately convert `[indexer]``ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE` if that is set.
-`LENGTH` will default to `[indexer]``UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN` if that is set.
-`BATCH_LENGTH` will default to `[indexer]``ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_BATCH_NUMBER` if that is set.
-`DATADIR` will default to `[indexer]``ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_DIR` if that is set.
-`CONN_STR` will default to `[indexer]``ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_CONN_STR` if that is set.
-`[queue.mailer]`
-`LENGTH` will default to **100** or whatever `[mailer]``SEND_BUFFER_LEN` is.

-`LENGTH` will default to **1000** or whatever `[repository]``PULL_REQUEST_QUEUE_LENGTH` is.
-`[queue.mirror]`
-`LENGTH` will default to **1000** or whatever `[repository]``MIRROR_QUEUE_LENGTH` is.
-`SECRET_KEY`: **\<random at every install\>**: Global secret key. This key is VERY IMPORTANT, if you lost it, the data encrypted by it (like 2FA secret) can't be decrypted anymore.
-`SECRET_KEY_URI`: **<empty>**: Instead of defining SECRET_KEY, this option can be used to use the key stored in a file (example value: `file:/etc/gitea/secret_key`). It shouldn't be lost like SECRET_KEY.
-`REVERSE_PROXY_LIMIT`: **1**: Interpret X-Forwarded-For header or the X-Real-IP header and set this as the remote IP for the request.
Number of trusted proxy count. Set to zero to not use these headers.

-`ONLY_ALLOW_PUSH_IF_GITEA_ENVIRONMENT_SET`: **true**: Set to `false` to allow local users to push to gitea-repositories without setting up the Gitea environment. This is not recommended and if you want local users to push to Gitea repositories you should set the environment appropriately.
-`INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI`: **<empty>**: Instead of defining INTERNAL_TOKEN in the configuration, this configuration option can be used to give Gitea a path to a file that contains the internal token (example value: `file:/etc/gitea/internal_token`)
-`PASSWORD_HASH_ALGO`: **pbkdf2**: The hash algorithm to use \[argon2, pbkdf2, pbkdf2_v1, pbkdf2_hi, scrypt, bcrypt\], argon2 and scrypt will spend significant amounts of memory.
- Note: The default parameters for `pbkdf2` hashing have changed - the previous settings are available as `pbkdf2_v1` but are not recommended.
- The hash functions may be tuned by using `$` after the algorithm:
-`argon2$<time>$<memory>$<threads>$<key-length>`
-`bcrypt$<cost>`
-`pbkdf2$<iterations>$<key-length>`
-`scrypt$<n>$<r>$<p>$<key-length>`
- The defaults are:
-`argon2`: `argon2$2$65536$8$50`
-`bcrypt`: `bcrypt$10`
-`pbkdf2`: `pbkdf2$50000$50`
-`pbkdf2_v1`: `pbkdf2$10000$50`
-`pbkdf2_v2`: `pbkdf2$50000$50`
-`pbkdf2_hi`: `pbkdf2$320000$50`
-`scrypt`: `scrypt$65536$16$2$50`
- Adjusting the algorithm parameters using this functionality is done at your own risk.
-`PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY`: **off**: Comma separated list of character classes required to pass minimum complexity. If left empty or no valid values are specified, checking is disabled (off):
-`SUCCESSFUL_TOKENS_CACHE_SIZE`: **20**: Cache successful token hashes. API tokens are stored in the DB as pbkdf2 hashes however, this means that there is a potentially significant hashing load when there are multiple API operations. This cache will store the successfully hashed tokens in a LRU cache as a balance between performance and security.
## Camo (`camo`)
-`ENABLED`: **false**: Enable media proxy, we support images only at the moment.
-`REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM`: _[service]_**REGISTER\_EMAIL\_CONFIRM**: Set this to enable or disable email confirmation of OAuth2 auto-registration. (Overwrites the REGISTER\_EMAIL\_CONFIRM setting of the `[service]` section)
- auto - automatically link with the account (Please be aware that this will grant access to an existing account just because the same username or email is provided. You must make sure that this does not cause issues with your authentication providers.)
-`NO_REPLY_ADDRESS`: **noreply.DOMAIN** Value for the domain part of the user's email address in the Git log if user has set KeepEmailPrivate to true. DOMAIN resolves to the value in server.DOMAIN.
-`PROXY_URL`: **\<empty\>**: Proxy server URL, support http://, https//, socks://, blank will follow environment http_proxy/https_proxy. If not given, will use global proxy setting.

-`PROTOCOL`: **\<empty\>**: Mail server protocol. One of "smtp", "smtps", "smtp+starttls", "smtp+unix", "sendmail", "dummy". _Before 1.18, this was inferred from a combination of `MAILER_TYPE` and `IS_TLS_ENABLED`._
- SMTP family, if your provider does not explicitly say which protocol it uses but does provide a port, you can set SMTP_PORT instead and this will be inferred.
- **sendmail** Use the operating system's `sendmail` command instead of SMTP. This is common on Linux systems.
- **dummy** Send email messages to the log as a testing phase.
- Note that enabling sendmail will ignore all other `mailer` settings except `ENABLED`, `FROM`, `SUBJECT_PREFIX` and `SENDMAIL_PATH`.

-`DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL`: **https://gitea.com**: Default address to get action plugins, e.g. the default value means downloading from "https://gitea.com/actions/checkout" for "uses: actions/checkout@v3"
`DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` indicates where should we find the relative path action plugin. i.e. when use an action in a workflow file like
```yaml
name: versions
on:
push:
branches:
- main
- releases/*
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
```
Now we need to know how to get actions/checkout, this configuration is the default git server to get it. That means we will get the repository via git clone ${DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL}/actions/checkout and fetch tag v3.
To help people who don't want to mirror these actions in their git instances, the default value is https://gitea.com
To help people run actions totally in their network, they can change the value and copy all necessary action repositories into their git server.
Of course we should support the form in future PRs like
