An ini file also gives a good default and means that +users do not have to completely provide a full environment. + +With those caveats above, this command provides a generic way of +converting suitably structured environment variables into any ini +value. + +To use the command is very simple just run it and the default gitea +app.ini will be rewritten to take account of the variables provided, +however there are various options to give slightly different +behavior and these can be interrogated with the `-h` option. + +The environment variables should be of the form: + + GITEA__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME + +Note, SECTION_NAME in the notation above is case-insensitive. + +Environment variables are usually restricted to a reduced character +set "0-9A-Z_" - in order to allow the setting of sections with +characters outside of that set, they should be escaped as following: +"_0X2E_" for "." and "_0X2D_" for "-". The entire section and key names +can be escaped as a UTF8 byte string if necessary. E.g. to configure: + + """ + ... + [log.console] + COLORIZE=false + STDERR=true + ... + """ + +You would set the environment variables: "GITEA__LOG_0x2E_CONSOLE__COLORIZE=false" +and "GITEA__LOG_0x2E_CONSOLE__STDERR=false". Other examples can be found +on the configuration cheat sheet. + +To build locally, run: + + go build contrib/environment-to-ini/environment-to-ini.go |
