Using the latest docker version of gitea docker with docker compose:

  gitea:
    image: gitea/gitea
    environment:
      - GITEA__server__DISABLE_SSH=true
      - GITEA__service__DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true
      - GITEA__repository__DEFAULT_PRIVATE=private
    volumes:
      - ./data/gitea:/data
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    ports:
      - 3000:3000

The settings GITEA__server__DISABLE_SSH=true and GITEA__service__DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true are not working while GITEA__repository__DEFAULT_PRIVATE=private does work.

Looks like boolean values are not mapped properly?

What does the generated app.ini look like?

Both parameters are set to false in the app.ini, I changed them to true manually and that works, but I would like to keep the configuration in the docker-compose.yml.

Did you have to run through the install page?

That's the way that these settings would be overridden and I think I've recently fixed this with another pr.

I have adjusted the parameters by hand, and have all systems up and running. I have the environment variable set just in case the problem is fixed and I have to re-deploy for some reason. However atm things are running smoothly so I'm not planning to touch my setup for testing.

FWIW I just tried a new install on 1.15.0-rc3 and can confirm that this is working again. I believe #15943 is the PR with the fix.
