## Verify GPG signature
Gitea signs all binaries with a [GPG key](https://keys.openpgp.org/search?q=teabot%40gitea.io) to prevent against unwanted modification of binaries. To validate the binary, download the signature file which ends in `.asc` for the binary you downloaded and use the gpg command line tool.

```sh
gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv 7C9E68152594688862D62AF62D9AE806EC1592E2
gpg --verify gitea-{{< version >}}-linux-amd64.asc gitea-{{< version >}}-linux-amd64
```

Look for the text `Good signature from "Teabot <[email protected]>"` to assert a good binary,
despite warnings like `This key is not certified with a trusted signature!`.

## Recommended server configuration

**NOTE:** Many of the following directories can be configured using [Environment Variables]({{< relref "doc/advanced/environment-variables.en-us.md" >}}) as well!
