# Media ## Settings ```yaml ######################## ##### MEDIA CONFIG ##### ######################## # Config pertaining to media uploads (videos, image, image descriptions, emoji). # Int. Maximum allowed image upload size in bytes. # Examples: [2097152, 10485760] # Default: 10485760 -- aka 10MB media-image-max-size: 10485760 # Int. Maximum allowed video upload size in bytes. # Examples: [2097152, 10485760] # Default: 41943040 -- aka 40MB media-video-max-size: 41943040 # Int. Minimum amount of characters required as an image or video description. # Examples: [500, 1000, 1500] # Default: 0 (not required) media-description-min-chars: 0 # Int. Maximum amount of characters permitted in an image or video description. # Examples: [500, 1000, 1500] # Default: 500 media-description-max-chars: 500 # Int. Max size in bytes of emojis uploaded to this instance via the admin API. # The default is the same as the Mastodon size limit for emojis (50kb), which allows # for good interoperability. Raising this limit may cause issues with federation # of your emojis to other instances, so beware. # Examples: [51200, 102400] # Default: 51200 media-emoji-local-max-size: 51200 # Int. Max size in bytes of emojis to download from other instances. # By default this is 100kb, or twice the size of the default for media-emoji-local-max-size. # This strikes a good balance between decent interoperability with instances that have # higher emoji size limits, and not taking up too much space in storage. # Examples: [51200, 102400] # Default: 102400 media-emoji-remote-max-size: 102400 # The below media cleanup settings allow admins to customize when and # how often media cleanup + prune jobs run, while being set to a fairly # sensible default (every night @ midnight). For more information on exactly # what these settings do, with some customization examples, see the docs: # https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/media_caching#cleanup # Int. Number of days to cache media from remote instances before # they are removed from the cache. When remote media is removed from # the cache, it is deleted from storage but the database entries for # the media are kept so that it can be fetched again if requested by a user. # # If this is set to 0, then media from remote instances will be cached indefinitely. # # Examples: [30, 60, 7, 0] # Default: 7 media-remote-cache-days: 7 # String. 24hr time of day formatted as hh:mm. # Examples: ["14:30", "00:00", "04:00"] # Default: "00:00" (midnight). media-cleanup-from: "00:00" # Duration. Period between media cleanup runs. # More than once per 24h is not recommended # is likely overkill. Setting this to something # very low like once every 10 minutes will probably # cause lag and possibly other issues. # Examples: ["24h", "72h", "12h"] # Default: "24h" (once per day). media-cleanup-every: "24h" ```
