| # 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.exe 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).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Adding startup dependencies
 | |
| 
 | |
| To add a startup dependency to the Gitea Windows service (eg Mysql, Mariadb), as an Administrator, then run the following command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| sc.exe config gitea depend= mariadb
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will ensure that when the Windows machine restarts, the automatic starting of Gitea is postponed until the database is ready and thus mitigate failed startups.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Unregister as a service
 | |
| 
 | |
| To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| sc.exe delete gitea
 | |
| ```
