# Specific variables
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
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 `GITEA_WORK_DIR`/custom folder by default. Use this variable
 | 
						|
     to change *custom* directory.
 | 
						|
  * `GOGS_WORK_DIR`: Deprecated, use `GITEA_WORK_DIR`
 | 
						|
  * `GOGS_CUSTOM`: Deprecated, use `GITEA_CUSTOM`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Macaron (framework used by Gitea)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * `HOST`: Host Macaron will listen on
 | 
						|
  * `PORT`: Port Macaron will listen on
 | 
						|
  * `MACARON_ENV`: global variable to provide special functionality for development environments
 | 
						|
     vs. production environments. If MACARON_ENV is set to "" or "development", then templates will
 | 
						|
     be recompiled on every request. For more performance, set the MACARON_ENV environment variable
 | 
						|
     to "production".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Miscellaneous
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
