-To set required TOKEN and SECRET values, consider using Gitea's built-in [generate utility functions](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#generate).
+Gitea will generate new secrets/tokens for every new installation automatically and write them into the app.ini. If you want to set the secrets/tokens manually, you can use the following docker commands to use of Gitea's built-in [generate utility functions](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#generate). Do not lose/change your SECRET_KEY after the installation, otherwise the encrypted data can not be decrypted anymore.
+
+The following commands will output a new `SECRET_KEY` and `INTERNAL_TOKEN` to `stdout`, which you can then place in your environment variables.
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm gitea/gitea:1 gitea generate secret SECRET_KEY
+docker run -it --rm gitea/gitea:1 gitea generate secret INTERNAL_TOKEN
+```
+
+```yaml
+...
+services:
+ server:
+ environment:
+ - GITEA__security__SECRET_KEY=[value returned by generate secret SECRET_KEY]
+ - GITEA__security__INTERNAL_TOKEN=[value returned by generate secret INTERNAL_TOKEN]
+```
