Configuration Cheat Sheet
This is a cheat sheet for the Gitea configuration file. It contains most of the settings that can be 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.example.ini
(s/main/<tag|release>). Any string in the format
%(X)s
is a feature powered
by
ini
, for reading values recursively.
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.
Values containing
#
or
;
must be quoted using
`
or
"""
.
Note: A full restart is required for Gitea configuration changes to take effect.
Default Configuration (non-
app.ini
configuration)
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:
WORK_PATH
option in
app.ini
--work-path
flag passed to the binary
$GITEA_WORK_DIR
AppPath
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:
--custom-path
flag passed to the binary
$GITEA_CUSTOM
AppWorkPath
/custom
AppWorkPath
CustomConf
: This is the path to the
app.ini
file.
--config
flag passed to the binary
CustomPath
/conf/app.ini
CustomPath
In addition, there is
StaticRootPath
which can be set as a built-in at build time, but will otherwise default to
AppWorkPath

Markup (
markup
)
MERMAID_MAX_SOURCE_CHARACTERS
:
5000
: Set the maximum size of a Mermaid source. (Set to -1 to disable)
Gitea can support Markup using external tools. The example below will add a markup named
asciidoc
.
[markup.asciidoc]
ENABLED = true
NEED_POSTPROCESS = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .adoc,.asciidoc
RENDER_COMMAND = "asciidoctor --embedded --safe-mode=secure --out-file=- -"
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
RENDER_COMMAND
.
[markup.sanitizer.*]
.
Two special environment variables are passed to the render command:
GITEA_PREFIX_SRC
, which contains the current URL prefix in the
src
path tree. To be used as prefix for links.
GITEA_PREFIX_RAW
, which contains the current URL prefix in the
raw
path tree. To be used as prefix for image paths.
If
RENDER_CONTENT_MODE
is
sanitized
, Gitea supports customizing the sanitization policy for rendered HTML. The example below will support KaTeX output from pandoc.
[markup.sanitizer.TeX]
; Pandoc renders TeX segments as <span>s with the "math" class, optionally
; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
ELEMENT = span
ALLOW_ATTR = class
REGEXP = ^\s*((math(\s+|$)|inline(\s+|$)|display(\s+|$)))+
ALLOW_DATA_URI_IMAGES = true
ELEMENT
: The element this policy applies to. Must be non-empty.
ALLOW_ATTR
: The attribute this policy allows. Must be non-empty.
REGEXP
: A regex to match the contents of the attribute against. Must be present but may be empty for unconditional whitelisting of this attribute.
ALLOW_DATA_URI_IMAGES
:
false
Allow data uri images (
<img src="data:image/png;base64,..."/>
).
Multiple sanitisation rules can be defined by adding unique subsections, e.g.
[markup.sanitizer.TeX-2]
.
To apply a sanitisation rules only for a specify external renderer they must use the renderer name, e.g.
[markup.sanitizer.asciidoc.rule-1]
.
If the rule is defined above the renderer ini section or the name does not match a renderer it is applied to every renderer.
Highlight Mappings (
highlight.mapping
)
file_extension e.g. .toml
:
language e.g. ini
. File extension to language mapping overrides.
Gitea will highlight files using the
linguist-language
or
gitlab-language
attribute from the
.gitattributes
file
if available. If this is not set or the language is unavailable, the file extension will be looked up
in this mapping or the filetype using heuristics.
