Originally created by @camlafit on GitHub (Jul 11, 2017).

On master (and at least 1.1) if we start with a specific config file, custom path doesn't follow this change.

su -l git -s /bin/bash -c "/var/opt/gitea/gitea web --config /var/opt/gitea/project/custom/conf/app.ini"
Custom path is /var/opt/gitea/custom should be more logical to get var/opt/gitea/project/custom/

Maybe should be better to set custom path as arg and not only config file

To complete we can workaround with an export GITEA_CUSTOM=/var/opt/gitea/project/custom

Maybe should be better to provide an 'custom_path' argument and follow specification in this directory if we want use a specific app.ini , theme, ...

When you specify a config file on command line, the GITEA_CUSTOM will not be used for config file path.

I don't understand.

Without GITEA_CUSTOM, ( su -l git -s /bin/bash -c "/var/opt/gitea/gitea web --config /var/opt/gitea/project/custom/conf/app.ini" ) I get :

[T] Custom path: /var/opt/gitea/custom
[T] Log path: /var/opt/gitea/project/log

With su -l git -s /bin/bash -c "export GITEA_CUSTOM=/var/opt/gitea/project/custom/ ; /var/opt/gitea/gitea web --config /var/opt/gitea/project/custom/conf/app.ini"

[T] Custom path: /var/opt/gitea/project/custom/
[T] Log path: /var/opt/gitea/project/log

To set a specific custom path (to personalize theme for example) to only project looks be required to set GITEA_CUSTOM and config arg.

Should be useful to have a relative path if --config is set or provide/replace a new argument to set --custom_path.
