Disabled repo units will not be added to new repositories regardless if it is in the default list.

-`STARTUP_TIMEOUT`: **30s**: If the indexer takes longer than this timeout to start - fail. (This timeout will be added to the hammer time above for child processes - as bleve will not start until the previous parent is shutdown.) Set to -1 to never timeout.
## Queue (`queue` and `queue.*`)
Configuration at `[queue]` will set defaults for queues with overrides for individual queues at `[queue.*]`. (However see below.)
-`TYPE`: **level**: General queue type, currently support: `level` (uses a LevelDB internally), `channel`, `redis`, `dummy`. Invalid types are treated as `level`.
-`DATADIR`: **queues/common**: Base DataDir for storing level queues. `DATADIR` for individual queues can be set in `queue.name` sections. Relative paths will be made absolute against `%(APP_DATA_PATH)s`.
-`LENGTH`: **100**: Maximal queue size before channel queues block
-`CONN_STR`: **redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0**: Connection string for the redis queue type. For `redis-cluster` use `redis+cluster://127.0.0.1:6379/0`. Options can be set using query params. Similarly, LevelDB options can also be set using: **leveldb://relative/path?option=value** or **leveldb:///absolute/path?option=value**, and will override `DATADIR`
-`QUEUE_NAME`: **\_queue**: The suffix for default redis and disk queue name. Individual queues will default to **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME` but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
-`SET_NAME`: **\_unique**: The suffix that will be added to the default redis and disk queue `set` name for unique queues. Individual queues will default to **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME`_`SET_NAME`_ but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
-`SEND_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_ON_NEW_USER`: **false**: enable email notifications to instance admins on new user sign-up. It requires `ENABLE_NOTIFY_MAIL` to be true.
-`INSTALL_LOCK`: **false**: Controls access to the installation page. When set to "true", the installation page is not accessible.
-`SECRET_KEY`: **\<random at every install\>**: Global secret key. This key is VERY IMPORTANT, if you lost it, the data encrypted by it (like 2FA secret) can't be decrypted anymore.
-`SECRET_KEY_URI`: **\<empty\>**: Instead of defining SECRET_KEY, this option can be used to use the key stored in a file (example value: `file:/etc/forgejo/secret_key`). It shouldn't be lost like SECRET_KEY.
-`REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES`: **127.0.0.0/8,::1/128**: List of IP addresses and networks separated by comma of trusted proxy servers. Use `*` to trust all.

-`INTERNAL_TOKEN`: **\<random at every install if no uri set\>**: Secret used to validate communication within Forgejo binary.
-`INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI`: **\<empty\>**: Instead of defining INTERNAL_TOKEN in the configuration, this configuration option can be used to give Forgejo a path to a file that contains the internal token (example value: `file:/etc/forgejo/internal_token`)
-`PASSWORD_HASH_ALGO`: **pbkdf2**: The hash algorithm to use \[argon2, pbkdf2, pbkdf2_v1, pbkdf2_hi, scrypt, bcrypt\], argon2 and scrypt will spend significant amounts of memory.
- Note: The default parameters for `pbkdf2` hashing have changed - the previous settings are available as `pbkdf2_v1` but are not recommended.
- The hash functions may be tuned by using `$` after the algorithm:
-`PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY`: **off**: Comma separated list of character classes required to pass minimum complexity. If left empty or no valid values are specified, checking is disabled (off):
-`PASSWORD_CHECK_PWN`: **false**: Check [HaveIBeenPwned](https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords) to see if a password has been exposed.
-`SUCCESSFUL_TOKENS_CACHE_SIZE`: **20**: Cache successful token hashes. API tokens are stored in the DB as pbkdf2 hashes however, this means that there is a potentially significant hashing load when there are multiple API operations. This cache will store the successfully hashed tokens in a LRU cache as a balance between performance and security.

- sanitized: Sanitize the content and render it inside current page, default to only allow a few HTML tags and attributes. Customized sanitizer rules can be defined in `[markup.sanitizer.*]`.
- no-sanitizer: Disable the sanitizer and render the content inside current page. It's **insecure** and may lead to XSS attack if the content contains malicious code.
- iframe: Render the content in a separate standalone page and embed it into current page by iframe. The iframe is in sandbox mode with same-origin disabled, and the JS code are safely isolated from parent page.
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`, Forgejo supports customizing the sanitization policy for rendered HTML. The example below will support KaTeX output from pandoc.
```ini
[markup.sanitizer.TeX]

; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
