title: 'Storage settings'
license: 'CC-BY-SA-4.0'
---
The storage for each subsystem (`attachments`, `lfs`, `avatars`,
`repo-avatars`, `repo-archive`, `packages`, `actions_log`,
`actions_artifact`) is defined in `app.ini`. It can either be on disk
(`local`) or using a MinIO server (`minio`). The default is `local`
storage, using the following hierarchy under the `WORK_PATH` directory:
| storage | default base path | app.ini sections |
| ----------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| attachments | attachments/ | [attachments] or [storage.attachements] |
| lfs | lfs/ | [lfs] or [storage.lfs] |
| avatars | avatars/ | [avatars] or [storage.avatars] |
| repo-avatars | repo-avatars/ | [repo-avatars] or [storage.repo-avatars] |
| repo-archive | repo-archive/ | [repo-archive] or [storage.repo-archive] |
| packages | packages/ | [packages] or [storage.packages] |
| actions_log | actions_log/ | [actions_log] or [storage.actions_log] |
| actions_artifacts | actions_artifacts/ | [actions_artifacts] or [storage.actions_artifacts] |
For instance if `WORK_PATH` was `/appdata`, the default directory to
store attachments would be `/appdata/attachements`.
## Overriding the defaults
These defaults can be modified for all subsystems in the `[storage]`
section. For instance setting:
```
[storage]
PATH = /mystorage
```
would change the default for storing attachements to
`/mystorage/attachments`. It is also possible to change these settings
for each subsystem in a `[storage.XXXX]` section. For instance setting:
```
[storage]
PATH = /mystorage
[storage.attachments]
PATH = /otherstorage/attachements
```
would store attachments in `/otherstorage/attachements` while `lfs`
files would be stored in `/mystorage/lfs`.
Finally, instead of using `[storage.XXXX]` it is also possible to use
`[XXXX]` as a shorthand.
## Storage type
The value of `STORAGE_TYPE` can be `local` (the default) or `minio`. For instance:
```
[storage]
STORAGE_TYPE = minio
```
Will use `minio` for all subsystems (`attachements`, `lfs`, etc.)
instead of storing them on disk. Each storage type has its own
settings, as explained below.
## `local` storage
There is just one setting when the `STORAGE_TYPE` is set to `local`,
`PATH`. For instance:
```
[storage]
STORAGE_TYPE = local
PATH = /mystorage
```
If the value of PATH for the `XXXX` subsystem is relative, it is
constructed as follows:
- The default base path is `WORK_PATH` (for instance `/appdata`)
- If `[storage].PATH` is relative (for instance `storage`), the default base path becomes `WORK_PATH`/`[storage].PATH` (for instance `/appdata/storage`)
- If `[storage.XXXX].PATH` is relative, the path becomes `WORK_PATH`/`[storage].PATH`/`[storage.XXXX].PATH` (for instance`/appdata/storage/lfs`)
It is recommended to always set the `PATH` values to an absolute path
name because it is easier to understand and maintain.
## `minio` storage
When the `STORAGE_TYPE` is set to `minio`, the settings available in
all sections (`[storage]`, `[storage.XXXX]` and `[XXXX]`) are:
- `SERVE_DIRECT`: **false**: Allows the storage driver to redirect to authenticated URLs to serve files directly. Only supported via signed URLs.
- `MINIO_ENDPOINT`: **localhost:9000**: Minio endpoint to connect.
- `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID`: Minio accessKeyID to connect.
- `MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`: Minio secretAccessKey to connect.
- `MINIO_BUCKET`: **gitea**: Minio bucket to store the data.
- `MINIO_LOCATION`: **us-east-1**: Minio location to create bucket.
- `MINIO_USE_SSL`: **false**: Minio enabled ssl.
- `MINIO_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY`: **false**: Minio skip SSL verification.
One setting is only available in the `[storage.XXXX]` or `[XXXX]` sections:
- `MINIO_BASE_PATH`: defaults to the `default base path` of the `XXXX`
subsystem (see the table above) and is a relative path within the
MinIO bucket defined by `MINIO_BUCKET`.
## Sections precedence
The sections in which a setting is found have the following priority:
- [XXXX] is first
- [storage.XXXX] is second
- [storage] is last
For instance:
```
[storage]
PATH = /last
[storage.attachments]
PATH = /second
[attachments]
PATH = /first
```
Will set the value of `PATH` for attachements to `/first`.
