Backport #25648 Replace #25580 Fix #19453 The problem was: when users set "GITEA__XXX__YYY" , the "install page" doesn't respect it. So, to make the result consistent and avoid surprising end users, now the "install page" also writes the environment variables to the config file. And, to make things clear, there are enough messages on the UI to tell users what will happen. There are some necessary/related changes to `environment-to-ini.go`: * The "--clear" flag is removed and it was incorrectly written there. The "clear" operation should be done if INSTALL_LOCK=true * The "--prefix" flag is removed because it's never used, never documented and it only causes inconsistent behavior. The only conflict during backport is "ui divider" in templates/install.tmpl |

Environment To Ini ================== Multiple docker users have requested that the Gitea docker is changed to permit arbitrary configuration via environment variables. Gitea needs to use an ini file for configuration because the running environment that starts the docker may not be the same as that used by the hooks. 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.
