In the default values below, a value in the form `$XYZ` refers to an environment variable. See [environment-to-ini](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/contrib/environment-to-ini) for information on how environment variables are translated to `app.ini` variables. 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.

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

-`true`: Enable TLS with verification of the database server certificate against its root certificate. When selecting this option make sure that the root certificate required to validate the database server certificate (e.g. the CA certificate) is on the system certificate store of both the database and Forgejo servers. See your system documentation for instructions on how to add a CA certificate to the certificate store.
-`false`: Disable TLS.
-`disable`: Alias for `false`, for compatibility with PostgreSQL.
-`skip-verify`: Enable TLS without database server certificate verification. Use this option if you have self-signed or invalid certificate on the database server.

## 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`.
-`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.
-`USER_DISABLED_FEATURES`: **_empty_** Disabled features for users, could be `deletion`, `manage_ssh_keys`, `manage_gpg_keys` and more features can be added in future.
-`manage_ssh_keys`: User cannot configure ssh keys.
-`manage_gpg_keys`: User cannot configure gpg keys.
-`EXTERNAL_USER_DISABLE_FEATURES`: **_empty_**: Comma separated list of disabled features ONLY if the user has an external login type (eg. LDAP, Oauth, etc.), could be `deletion`, `manage_ssh_keys`, `manage_gpg_keys`. This setting is independent from `USER_DISABLED_FEATURES` and supplements its behavior.
-`deletion`: User cannot delete their own account.
-`manage_ssh_keys`: User cannot configure ssh keys.
-`manage_gpg_keys`: User cannot configure gpg keys.
-`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.
-`DISABLE_GIT_HOOKS`: **true**: Set to `false` to enable users with Git Hook privilege to create custom Git Hooks.
-`DISABLE_WEBHOOKS`: **false**: Set to `true` to disable webhooks feature.
-`ONLY_ALLOW_PUSH_IF_GITEA_ENVIRONMENT_SET`: **true**: Set to `false` to allow local users to push to gitea-repositories without setting up the Forgejo environment. This is not recommended and if you want local users to push to Forgejo repositories you should set the environment appropriately.
-`IMPORT_LOCAL_PATHS`: **false**: Set to `false` to prevent all users (including admin) from importing local path on server.
-`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.
-`REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM`: _[service]_**REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM**: Set this to enable or disable email confirmation of OAuth2 auto-registration. (Overwrites the REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM setting of the `[service]` section)
-`UPDATE_AVATAR`: **false**: Update avatar if available from oauth2 provider. Update will be performed on each login.
-`ACCOUNT_LINKING`: **login**: How to handle if an account / email already exists:
- disabled - show an error
- login - show an account linking login
- auto - automatically link with the account (Please be aware that this will grant access to an existing account just because the same username or email is provided. You must make sure that this does not cause issues with your authentication providers.)

- Note that enabling sendmail will ignore all other `mailer` settings except `ENABLED`, `FROM`, `SUBJECT_PREFIX` and `SENDMAIL_PATH`.
- Enabling dummy will ignore all settings except `ENABLED`, `SUBJECT_PREFIX` and `FROM`.
-`SMTP_ADDR`: **\<empty\>**: Mail server address. e.g. smtp.gmail.com. For smtp+unix, this should be a path to a unix socket instead. _Before 1.18, this was combined with `SMTP_PORT` under the name `HOST`._
-`SMTP_PORT`: **\<empty\>**: Mail server port. If no protocol is specified, it will be inferred by this setting. Common ports are listed below. _Before 1.18, this was combined with `SMTP_ADDR` under the name `HOST`._

- RENDER_CONTENT_MODE: **sanitized** How the content will be rendered.
- 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]
; Pandoc renders TeX segments as <span>s with the "math" class, optionally
; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
