# Custom files rendering configuration
Gitea supports custom file renderings (i.e., Jupyter notebooks, asciidoc, etc.) through external binaries,
it is just matter of:
* installing external binaries
* add some configuration to your `app.ini` file
* restart your gitea instance
## Installing external binaries
In order to get file rendering through external binaries, their associated packages must be installed.
If you're using a Docker image, your `Dockerfile` should contain something along this lines:
```
FROM gitea/gitea:1.6.0
[...]
COPY custom/app.ini /data/gitea/conf/app.ini
[...]
RUN apk --no-cache add asciidoctor freetype freetype-dev gcc g++ libpng python-dev py-pip python3-dev py3-pip
# install any other package you need for your external renderers
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip
RUN pip3 install -U setuptools
RUN pip3 install jupyter matplotlib docutils
# add above any other python package you may need to install
```
## `app.ini` file configuration
add one `[markup.XXXXX]` section per external renderer on your custom `app.ini`:
```
[markup.asciidoc]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .adoc,.asciidoc
RENDER_COMMAND = "asciidoctor --out-file=- -"
; Input is not a standard input but a file
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
[markup.jupyter]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .ipynb
RENDER_COMMAND = "jupyter nbconvert --stdout --to html --template basic "
IS_INPUT_FILE = true
[markup.restructuredtext]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .rst
RENDER_COMMAND = rst2html.py
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
```
Once your configuration changes have been made, restart Gitea to have changes take effect.
