To set required TOKEN and SECRET values, consider using Gitea's built-in [generate utility functions](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#generate).
Gitea will generate new secrets/tokens for every new installation automatically and write them into the app.ini. If you want to set the secrets/tokens manually, you can use the following docker commands to use of Gitea's built-in [generate utility functions](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#generate). Do not lose/change your SECRET_KEY after the installation, otherwise the encrypted data can not be decrypted anymore.
The following commands will output a new `SECRET_KEY` and `INTERNAL_TOKEN` to `stdout`, which you can then place in your environment variables.
```bash
docker run -it --rm gitea/gitea:1 gitea generate secret SECRET_KEY
docker run -it --rm gitea/gitea:1 gitea generate secret INTERNAL_TOKEN
```
```yaml
...
services:
server:
environment:
- GITEA__security__SECRET_KEY=[value returned by generate secret SECRET_KEY]
- GITEA__security__INTERNAL_TOKEN=[value returned by generate secret INTERNAL_TOKEN]
```
