Description

Under the [server] configuration section I've set BUILTIN_SSH_SERVER_USER to sample, and the web interface still shows git (which is the RunUser), however per bec69f702b/models/repo.go (L864) the configuration variable should overwrite that for the web interface.

This setting only works if you are using the built-in ssh server. Are you sure you enabled it instead of using the system SSH server?

The following settings must be set:

SSH.Disabled to false
SSH.StartBuiltinServer to true
SSH.BuiltinServerUser to a nonempty string

If this is all correct and it still happens, it is probably a regression (as it works fine on my server, which uses an older version of Gitea (I've been short on time to update it)).

@geek1011 Yup. That was my problem, thank you. It's now displaying as it should.
