##### STORAGE CONFIG #####
##########################

# Config pertaining to storage of user-created uploads (videos, images, etc).
storage:

  # String. Type of storage backend to use.
  # Examples: ["local", "s3"]
  # Default: "local" (storage on local disk)
  # NOTE: s3 storage is not yet supported!
  backend: "local"

  # String. Directory to use as a base path for storing files.
  # Make sure whatever user/group gotosocial is running as has permission to access
  # this directly, and create new subdirectories and files with in.
  # Examples: ["/home/gotosocial/storage", "/opt/gotosocial/datastorage"]
  # Default: "/gotosocial/storage"
  basePath: "/gotosocial/storage"

  # String. Protocol to use for serving stored files.
  # It's very unlikely that you'll need to change this ever, but there might be edge cases.
  # Examples: ["http", "https"]
  serveProtocol: "https"

  # String. Host for serving stored files.
  # If you're using local storage, this should be THE SAME as the value you've set for Host, above.
  # It should only be a different value if you're serving stored files from a host
  # other than the one your instance is running on.
  # Examples: ["localhost", "example.org"]
  # Default: "localhost" -- you should absolutely change this.
  serveHost: "localhost"

  # String. Base path for serving stored files. This will be added to serveHost and serveProtocol
  # to form the prefix url of your stored files. Eg., https://example.org/fileserver/.....
  # It's unlikely that you will need to change this.
  # Examples: ["/fileserver", "/media"]
  # Default: "/fileserver"
  serveBasePath: "/fileserver"
