# Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The following changes are made in C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
RUN_USER = COMPUTERNAME$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sets Gitea to run as the local system user.
|
|
|
|
COMPUTERNAME is whatever the response is from `echo %COMPUTERNAME%` on the command line. If the response is `USER-PC` then `RUN_USER = USER-PC$`
|
|
|
|
## Use absolute paths
|
|
|
|
If you use sqlite3, change the `PATH` to include the full path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[database]
|
|
PATH = c:/gitea/data/gitea.db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Register as a Windows Service
|
|
|
|
To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator,
|
|
then run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sc create gitea start= auto binPath= ""C:\gitea\gitea.exe" web --config "C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.
|
|
|
|
Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
|
|
"Run". If everything is OK Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
|
|
that was configured).
|
|
|
|
## Unregister as a service
|
|
|
|
To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sc delete gitea
|
|
```
