Mitigate Security vulnerability in the git hook feature (#13058) 
* Extend git hook warning in the UI.

Git hooks are a dangerous feature, administrators should be warned before giving
the git hook privilege to users.

* Disable Git hooks by default and add warning.

Git hooks are a dangerous features (see warning text) that should only
be enabled if the administrator was informed about the risk involved.

Configuration Cheat Sheet

This is a cheat sheet for the Gitea configuration file. It contains most of the settings that can be configured as well as their default values.

Any changes to the Gitea configuration file should be made in custom/conf/app.ini or any corresponding location. When installing from a distribution, this will typically be found at /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini.

The defaults provided here are best-effort (not built automatically). They are accurately recorded in app.example.ini (s/master/<tag|release>). Any string in the format %(X)s is a feature powered by ini, for reading values recursively.

Values containing # or ; must be quoted using ` or """.

Note: A full restart is required for Gitea configuration changes to take effect.

Overall (DEFAULT)

  • APP_NAME: Gitea: Git with a cup of tea: Application name, used in the page title.
  • RUN_USER: git: The user Gitea will run as. This should be a dedicated system (non-user) account. Setting this incorrectly will cause Gitea to not start.
  • RUN_MODE: dev: For performance and other purposes, change this to prod when deployed to a production environment. The installation process will set this to prod automatically. [prod, dev, test]

Repository (repository)

  • ROOT: ~/gitea-repositories/: Root path for storing all repository data. It must be an absolute path.
  • SCRIPT_TYPE: bash: The script type this server supports. Usually this is bash, but some users report that only sh is available.
  • DETECTED_CHARSETS_ORDER: UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE, ISO-8859, windows-1252, ISO-8859, windows-1250, ISO-8859, ISO-8859, ISO-8859, windows-1253, ISO-8859, windows-1255, ISO-8859, windows-1251, windows-1256, KOI8-R, ISO-8859, windows-1254, Shift_JIS, GB18030, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Big5, ISO-2022, ISO-2022, ISO-2022, IBM424_rtl, IBM424_ltr, IBM420_rtl, IBM420_ltr: Tie-break order of detected charsets - if the detected charsets have equal confidence, charsets earlier in the list will be chosen in preference to those later. Adding defaults will place the unnamed charsets at that point.
  • ANSI_CHARSET: <empty>: Default ANSI charset to override non-UTF-8 charsets to.
  • FORCE_PRIVATE: false: Force every new repository to be private.
  • DEFAULT_PRIVATE: last: Default private when creating a new repository.

  • TRUSTED_FACETS: List of additional facets which are trusted. This is not support by all browsers.

Markup (markup)

Gitea can support Markup using external tools. The example below will add a markup named asciidoc.

[markup.asciidoc]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .adoc,.asciidoc
RENDER_COMMAND = "asciidoc --out-file=- -"
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
  • ENABLED: false Enable markup support; set to true to enable this renderer.
  • FILE_EXTENSIONS: <empty> List of file extensions that should be rendered by an external command. Multiple extentions needs a comma as splitter.
  • RENDER_COMMAND: External command to render all matching extensions.
  • IS_INPUT_FILE: false Input is not a standard input but a file param followed RENDER_COMMAND.

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.

Gitea supports customizing the sanitization policy for rendered HTML. The example below will support KaTeX output from pandoc.

[markup.sanitizer.TeX]
; Pandoc renders TeX segments as <span>s with the "math" class, optionally
; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
ELEMENT = span
ALLOW_ATTR = class
REGEXP = ^\s*((math(\s+|$)|inline(\s+|$)|display(\s+|$)))+
  • ELEMENT: The element this policy applies to. Must be non-empty.
  • ALLOW_ATTR: The attribute this policy allows. Must be non-empty.
  • REGEXP: A regex to match the contents of the attribute against. Must be present but may be empty for unconditional whitelisting of this attribute.

Multiple sanitisation rules can be defined by adding unique subsections, e.g. [markup.sanitizer.TeX-2].

Time (time)

  • FORMAT: Time format to diplay on UI. i.e. RFC1123 or 2006-01-02 15:04:05
  • DEFAULT_UI_LOCATION: Default location of time on the UI, so that we can display correct user's time on UI. i.e. Shanghai/Asia

Task (task)

Task queue configuration has been moved to queue.task. However, the below configuration values are kept for backwards compatibility:

  • QUEUE_TYPE: channel: Task queue type, could be channel or redis.
  • QUEUE_LENGTH: 1000: Task queue length, available only when QUEUE_TYPE is channel.
  • QUEUE_CONN_STR: redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0: Task queue connection string, available only when QUEUE_TYPE is redis. If redis needs a password, use redis://123@127.0.0.1:6379/0.

Migrations (migrations)

  • MAX_ATTEMPTS: 3: Max attempts per http/https request on migrations.
  • RETRY_BACKOFF: 3: Backoff time per http/https request retry (seconds)

Mirror (mirror)

  • DEFAULT_INTERVAL: 8h: Default interval between each check
  • MIN_INTERVAL: 10m: Minimum interval for checking. (Must be >1m).

LFS (lfs)

Storage configuration for lfs data. It will be derived from default [storage] or [storage.xxx] when set STORAGE_TYPE to xxx. When derived, the default of PATH is data/lfs and the default of MINIO_BASE_PATH is lfs/.

  • STORAGE_TYPE: local: Storage type for lfs, local for local disk or minio for s3 compatible object storage service or other name defined with [storage.xxx]
  • SERVE_DIRECT: false: Allows the storage driver to redirect to authenticated URLs to serve files directly. Currently, only Minio/S3 is supported via signed URLs, local does nothing.
  • CONTENT_PATH: ./data/lfs: Where to store LFS files, only available when STORAGE_TYPE is local.
  • MINIO_ENDPOINT: localhost:9000: Minio endpoint to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID: Minio accessKeyID to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: Minio secretAccessKey to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_BUCKET: gitea: Minio bucket to store the lfs only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_LOCATION: us-east-1: Minio location to create bucket only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_BASE_PATH: lfs/: Minio base path on the bucket only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_USE_SSL: false: Minio enabled ssl only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio

Storage (storage)

Default storage configuration for attachments, lfs, avatars and etc.

  • SERVE_DIRECT: false: Allows the storage driver to redirect to authenticated URLs to serve files directly. Currently, only Minio/S3 is supported via signed URLs, local does nothing.
  • MINIO_ENDPOINT: localhost:9000: Minio endpoint to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID: Minio accessKeyID to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: Minio secretAccessKey to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_BUCKET: gitea: Minio bucket to store the data only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_LOCATION: us-east-1: Minio location to create bucket only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio
  • MINIO_USE_SSL: false: Minio enabled ssl only available when STORAGE_TYPE is minio

And you can also define a customize storage like below:

[storage.my_minio]
STORAGE_TYPE = minio
; Minio endpoint to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_ENDPOINT = localhost:9000
; Minio accessKeyID to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID =
; Minio secretAccessKey to connect only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY =
; Minio bucket to store the attachments only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_BUCKET = gitea
; Minio location to create bucket only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_LOCATION = us-east-1
; Minio enabled ssl only available when STORAGE_TYPE is `minio`
MINIO_USE_SSL = false

And used by [attachment], [lfs] and etc. as STORAGE_TYPE.
