Description

I am trying to apply custom configuration and I've followed multiple guides but I am confused as to what I need to do after creating a /opt/gogs/custom/conf/app.ini file[1].

My custom app.ini contains:

[service]
DISABLE_REGISTRATION = true
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = true

Then I restart the service systemctl restart gogs. But the configuration is not sticking.

I am also referencing the official "Config and run" doc[2] but it does not describe how to do this in production (with binaries).

Hi, this package is not built by us (me), so I'm not sure how exactly. Maybe helpful: #2174
