# Minio Server `config.json` (v18) Guide [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/minio/minio)](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio)
Minio server stores all its configuration data in `${HOME}/.minio/config.json` file by default. Following sections provide detailed explanation of each fields and how to customize them. A complete example of `config.json` is available [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/config/config.sample.json)
## Configuration Directory
The default configuration directory is `${HOME}/.minio`. You can override the default configuration directory using `--config-dir` command-line option. Minio server generates a new `config.json` with auto-generated access credentials when its started for the first time.
```sh
minio server --config-dir /etc/minio /data
```
### Certificate Directory
TLS certificates are stored under ``${HOME}/.minio/certs`` directory. You need to place certificates here to enable `HTTPS` based access. Read more about [How to secure access to Minio server with TLS](http://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-secure-access-to-minio-server-with-tls).
Following is the directory structure for Minio server with TLS certificates.
```sh
$ tree ~/.minio
/home/user1/.minio
├── certs
   ├── CAs
   ├── private.key
   └── public.crt
└── config.json
```
