most of the env vars passed to docker are only used to cerate the app.ini if it doesn't yet exist. If app.ini already exists then you'll need to configure it there. You appear to be using the format for the contrib helper script https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/contrib/environment-to-ini however that is not built into the default docker image.

This would be a nice addition though, no ? :)
