	This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

# Prerequisites
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following changes are made in C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
RUN_USER = COMPUTERNAME$
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sets Gitea to run as the local system user.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
COMPUTERNAME is whatever the response is from `echo %COMPUTERNAME%` on the command line. If the response is `USER-PC` then `RUN_USER = USER-PC$`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Use absolute paths
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you use SQLite3, change the `PATH` to include the full path:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
[database]
 | 
						|
PATH     = c:/gitea/data/gitea.db
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Register as a Windows Service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator,
 | 
						|
then run the following command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sc.exe create gitea start= auto binPath= "\"C:\gitea\gitea.exe\" web --config \"C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini\""
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
 | 
						|
"Run". If everything is OK, Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
 | 
						|
that was configured).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Adding startup dependencies
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To add a startup dependency to the Gitea Windows service (eg Mysql, Mariadb), as an Administrator, then run the following command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sc.exe config gitea depend= mariadb
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will ensure that when the Windows machine restarts, the automatic starting of Gitea is postponed until the database is ready and thus mitigate failed startups.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Unregister as a service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sc.exe delete gitea
 | 
						|
```
