+Environment To Ini
+==================
+
+Multiple docker users have requested that the Gitea docker is changed
+to permit arbitrary configuration via environment variables.
+
+Gitea needs to use an ini file for configuration because the running
+environment that starts the docker may not be the same as that used
+by the hooks. An ini file also gives a good default and means that
+users do not have to completely provide a full environment.
+
+With those caveats above, this command provides a generic way of
+converting suitably structured environment variables into any ini
+value.
+
+To use the command is very simple just run it and the default gitea
+app.ini will be rewritten to take account of the variables provided,
+however there are various options to give slightly different
+behavior and these can be interrogated with the `-h` option.
+
+The environment variables should be of the form:
+
+	GITEA__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME
+
+Note, SECTION_NAME in the notation above is case-insensitive.
+
+Environment variables are usually restricted to a reduced character
+set "0-9A-Z_" - in order to allow the setting of sections with
+characters outside of that set, they should be escaped as following:
+"_0X2E_" for "." and "_0X2D_" for "-". The entire section and key names 
+can be escaped as a UTF8 byte string if necessary. E.g. to configure:
+
+	"""
+	...
+	[log.console]
+	COLORIZE=false
+	STDERR=true
+	...
+	"""
+
+You would set the environment variables: "GITEA__LOG_0x2E_CONSOLE__COLORIZE=false"
+and "GITEA__LOG_0x2E_CONSOLE__STDERR=false". Other examples can be found
+on the configuration cheat sheet.
+
+To build locally, run:
+
+	go build contrib/environment-to-ini/environment-to-ini.go
