Gogs Security INSTALL_LOCK Parameter

Question

In the gogs app.ini configuration file I see that there is an INSTALL_LOCK configuration parameter. What is this parameter for?

Answer 1

From the Gogs app.ini cheatsheet:

INSTALL_LOCK: Indicates whether to allow the open install page (setting admin account is involved, so it’s a very important value).

So after your first install Gogs sets this value to true in order to prevent the open install page from opening again on restart Gogs. If you reset it to false, then the open install page will reopen with your current settings. Once you click install your configuration settings will be updated.

Answer 2

From the docs (which I found by searching Google for your title, "Gogs Security INSTALL_LOCK Parameter"):

INSTALL_LOCK: Indicates whether to allow the open install page (setting admin account is involved, so it’s a very important value).
