-Some values in the file are shown as `<REDACTED - GITEA__SERVER__LFS_JWT_SECRET>` in place of a secret value. According to [forgejo/contrib/environment-to-ini](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/contrib/environment-to-ini), we should be able to use environment variables for these secrets instead of hard-coding them into the `app.ini` file. We're still experimenting with this feature.

+## redacted values
+For security, secrets have been redacted from this file. StarCat team members can find these values in [1Password](https://start.1password.com/open/i?a=B5NVCNGFJBCCLCDCN5FKFPGVBI&v=35hhast2kp5lgw3iud374426oa&i=cibe7kghl7srjzhgjb2i3lq72y&h=starcatsys.1password.com). Soon, these values will be autofilled from Vault when the container starts.
