Description

I'm trying to install Gitea on a VPS running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS using SQLite or MySQL. Whenever I try to start the installation using the web interface, I get an alert notifying me that the username I've provided is not the user running the app (see Screenshot below).
That's the way I set up and ran Gitea:

wget -O gitea https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.4.2/gitea-1.4.2-linux-amd64

chmod +x gitea

./gitea web

My username is app - there are no other users than app and root on my VPS. I left all other fields as they were, despite 'run user' and the DB entries.

Screenshots

Setting the USER variable to my current user did it, through I couldn't find it before opening this issue.
Sorry.
