The main way to customize Gitea is by using the `custom` folder. This is the central place to override and configure features.

## Specify the custom folder

The default custom folder is `GITEA_HOME/custom`, and you can set it by the env `GITEA_CUSTOM`.

Isn't it GITEA_WORK_DIR instead of GITEA_HOME ?

Gah, confusing, gitea uses both GITEA_HOME and GITEA_WORK_DIR :(

Ok now I see, it's only GITEA_WORK_DIR that is used by gitea. The GITEA_HOME variable is just internal variable for init scripts, so please update the patch.

@strk This should be documented somewhere. All the env vars get quite confusing.

I will. I'm checking all os.Getenv in Gitea code and extract them. Then I list them on a page to explain what they do in the code. I will put the changes in #111, so that we can talk about it.

## Customizing /robots.txt

To make Gitea serve your own `/robots.txt` (by default, an empty 404 status is served), simply create a file called `robots.txt` in the `custom` folder with the [expected contents](http://www.robotstxt.org/). **Note** that you have to restart Gitea for it to notice the new `robots.txt`.
