# Customizing Gitea
-The main way to customize Gitea is by using the `custom` folder. This is the central place to override and configure features.
+Customizing Gitea is typically done using the `custom` folder. This is the central
+place to override configuration settings, templates, etc.
-If you install Gitea from binary, after the installation process ends, you can find the `custom` folder next to the binary.
-Gitea will create the folder for you and prepopulate it with a `conf` folder inside, where Gitea stores all the configuration settings provided through the installation steps (have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/) for a complete list).
+If Gitea is deployed from binary, all default paths will be relative to the gitea
+binary. If installed from a distribution, these paths will likely be modified to
+the Linux Filesystem Standard. Gitea will create required folders, including `custom/`.
+Application settings are configured in `custom/conf/app.ini`. Distributions may
+provide a symlink for `custom` using `/etc/gitea/`.
-If you can't find the `custom` folder next to the binary, please check the `GITEA_CUSTOM` environment variable, that can be used to override the default path to something else. `GITEA_CUSTOM` might be set for example in your launch script file. Please have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/specific-variables/) for a complete list of environment variables.

+Place the png image at the following path: `custom/public/img/avatar\_default.png`
## Customizing Gitea pages
-The `custom/templates` folder allows you to change every single page of Gitea.
-
-You need to be aware of the template you want to change. All templates can be found in the `templates` folder of the Gitea sources.
-
-When you find the correct .tmpl file, you need to copy it in the `custom/templates` folder of your installation, __respecting__ any subfolder you found in the source template.

**Note**: Go version 1.7 or higher is required
## Download

+Depending on requirements, the following build tags can be included.
-* `bindata`: With this tag you can embed all assets required to run an instance of Gitea, this makes a deployment quite easy because you don't need to care about any additional file.
-* `sqlite`: With this tag you can enable support for a [SQLite3](https://sqlite.org/) database, this is only suggested for tiny Gitea installations.
-* `tidb`: With this tag you can enable support for a [TiDB](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb) database, it's a quite simple file-based database comparable with SQLite.
-* `pam`: With this tag you can enable support for PAM (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules), this is useful if your users should be authenticated via your available system users.
+* `bindata`: Build a single monolithic binary, with all assets included.
+* `sqlite`: Enable support for a [SQLite3](https://sqlite.org/) database. Suggested only

# What is Gitea?
-Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service. It is similar to GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitlab. The initial development have been done on [Gogs](http://gogs.io) but we have forked it and named it Gitea. If you want to read more about the reasons why we have done that please read [this](https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/) blog post.
+Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service. It is similar to GitHub, Bitbucket, and Gitlab.
+Gitea is a fork of [Gogs](http://gogs.io). See the [Gitea Announcement](https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/)
+blog post to read about the justification for a fork.
## Purpose
-The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. With Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across ALL platforms that Go supports, including Linux, macOS and Windows, even on architectures like ARM or PowerPC.

## System Requirements
-- A cheap Raspberry Pi is powerful enough for basic functionality.
-- 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM would be the baseline for teamwork.
-- Gitea is supposed to be run with a dedicated non-root user account on UNIX systems, no other mode of operation is supported. (**NOTE**: in case you run it with your own user account and the built-in SSH server disabled, Gitea modifies the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file so you will **not** be able to interactively log in.)
+- A Raspberry Pi 3 is powerful enough to run Gitea for small workloads.
+- 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM is typically sufficient for small teams/projects.
+- Gitea should be run with a dedicated non-root system account on UNIX-type systems.
+ - Note: Gitea manages the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file. Running gitea as a regular user could break that user's ability to log in.
## Browser Support
- Please see [Semantic UI](https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI#browser-support) for specific versions of supported browsers.
-- The official support minimal size is **1024*768**, UI may still looks right in smaller size but no promises and fixes.
