gitea command prints incorrect path to config file #21606
Description
Description
According to the documentation, the path of the currently used configuration file can be queried by running the following command:
gitea --help
Application settings can be found in file
CustomConfwhich is by default,$GITEA_CUSTOM/conf/app.inibut may be different if your build has set this differently. Againgitea helpwill allow you review this variable and you can override it using the--configoption on thegiteabinary.
As I have observed, the configuration file on my instance is located in /etc/gitea/app.ini.
However, gitea --help shows a different path:
bash-5.1$ gitea --help
NAME:
Gitea - A painless self-hosted Git service
USAGE:
gitea [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]
VERSION:
v1.17.3 built with GNU Make 4.3, go1.18.7 : bindata, timetzdata, sqlite, sqlite_unlock_notify
[...]
DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
CustomPath: /var/lib/gitea/custom (GITEA_CUSTOM)
CustomConf: /var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini
AppPath: /usr/local/bin/gitea
AppWorkPath: /var/lib/gitea
bash-5.1$
The /admin/config also shows the former as the config file:
The file indicated by gitea --help exists too, but possibly only because of an earlier misunderstanding of mine. About a year or 2 ago I had a hard time understanding where should I create the config file.
However, modifying this file does not seem to have an effect.
