Hello, it seems that webhooks settings in my config file app.ini are being ignored.

As per the “Configuration” tab of the System Menu, my gitea (dockerized) instance uses /data/gitea/conf/app.ini, which is correct. Any changes in that file are reflected afterwards

Now, the same Configuration tab shows the following values for Webhooks:  
Queue Length 1000  
Deliver Timeout 5 seconds  
Skip TLS Verification checked

In /data/gitea/conf/app.ini I have this:

```auto
[webhook]       
ALLOWED_HOST_LIST = *
SKIP_TLS_VERIFY = true     

```

SKIP\_TLS\_VERIFY was set to true by myself, so I can confirm that changes there are enacted upon  
ALLOWED\_HOST\_LIST is not being shown in the Configuration tab; is there a way to see its value, somewhere ? (and yes, \* is large… it’s for test purposes)

Sorry for the very, very late reply; posting this out of “courtesy”; I did not ghost you, I’ve just be notified of your question, so did not know about it before logging in tonight:

I had solved this issue, somehow, with a combination of upgrading to gitea 1.21.0 and… cannot even remember, so, so, so sorry.

Important point: before upgrading, backup your back-end endpoint (In my case a PoostgresSQL docker container)
