# Git Large File Storage setup

To use Gitea's built-in LFS support, you must update the `app.ini` file:

```ini
[server]
; Enables git-lfs support. true or false, default is false.
LFS_START_SERVER = true
; Where your lfs files reside, default is data/lfs.
LFS_CONTENT_PATH = /home/gitea/data/lfs
```

**Note**: LFS server support needs at least Git v2.1.2 installed on the server
