[...s/setting/setting.go:994 NewContext()] [E] Expect user 'olduser' but current user is: newuser

Description

I need to run two instances of gitea on a single server and I found out that using the same username for both causes problems with ssh authorized keys.

I tried to change the user that the one instance runs as (and change all related files to be owned by that new user), but it complains at me about the system user having changed.

How can I correct this? Is there a cache directory that I need to delete? Or a SQL UPDATE that I need to run? And why is it tied to a system account in the first place?
