In administration documentation about environment variables, point to those for the Go runtime instead of Go compiler (#28859) 
The previous variables are used by the compiler and aren't too useful
for non-developers. The newly listed variables are more likely to be of
interest.

Apologies for this drive-by PR, I probably missed instructions from the
contributors guide. The patch can be regarded as a simple way to explain
the problem and solution. Feel free to close and possibly create a new
PR that does adhere to the contributors guide.

Environment 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 variables that influence the behaviour of Go's runtime, such as:

  • GOMEMLIMIT
  • GOGC
  • GOMAXPROCS
  • GODEBUG

For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the official Go documentation on runtime environment variables.

Gitea files

  • GITEA_WORK_DIR: Absolute path of working directory.
  • GITEA_CUSTOM: Gitea uses WorkPath/custom folder by default. Use this variable to change custom directory.

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

Miscellaneous

  • SKIP_MINWINSVC: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
