# Environment variables
|
|
|
|
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 `WorkPath`/custom folder by default. Use this variable to change _custom_ directory.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
