# Minio Server `config.json` (v22) Guide [](https://slack.minio.io) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [](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
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

MINIO_DOMAIN environmental variable (or `domain` in config.json) can be used to enable virtual-host-style requests. If the request `Host` header matches with `(.+).mydomain.com` then the mattched pattern `$1` is used as bucket and the path is used as object.
