Description

I use a docker-compose.yaml file with an environment section:

    environment:
      - GITEA__DEFAULT__APP_NAME=domain.de git
      - GITEA__server__DOMAIN=git.domain.de
      - GITEA__server__ROOT_URL=https://git.domain.de
      - GITEA__server__SSH_PORT=222
      - GITEA__mailer__ENABLED=true
      - GITEA__mailer__HOST=mail.domain.de:587
      - GITEA__mailer__FROM=git@domain.de

All of the settings are being considered in setup just fine (up to including mailer.ENABLED) but mailer.HOST and mailer.FROM are being ignored, i.e. on the setup page the fields are blank and in the configuration page of the admin interface only Enabled is shown with regard to the mailer

What's the output of your app.ini look like?

[gnat]

The issue here maaay be the Initial Configuration GUI doesn't load some settings into the GUI itself as new defaults, so the settings passed in by environment-to-ini get overridden by the GUI itself.

Here's a few other affected settings for me in version 1.14.2:

• GITEA__SERVICE__REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW
• GITEA__SERVICE__DISABLE_REGISTRATION
• GITEA__MAILER__ENABLED

[floli]

My app.ini reflects the settings from the environment variables:

[mailer]
ENABLED = false
FROM    = git@domain.de
HOST    = mail.domain.de:587

I was a bit confused, because the configuration admin web page only shows the enabled settings, not FROM or HOST.

I am also not able to set the APP_NAME. Using the setting above results in

[default]
APP_NAME = domain.de git

which has no effect. Using the environment variable GITEA__APP_NAME=domain.de git has no effect either.

[gnat]

Yup APP_NAME... this all smells like the Initial Configuration GUI is not pre-populating with environment-to-ini (or app.ini in general).

For reference my environment is Gitea 1.14.2 with MySQL 8.0 and have the same issue.

[d3m1gd]

can confirm that GITEA__service__DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true not having any effect, both gui setup and ini file have false in this field.

as for APP_NAME, this works for me: GITEA____APP_NAME=Gitea, notice the 4 underscores
