# Minio Server configuration files Guide [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/minio/minio?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
In this document we will walk through the configuration files of Minio Server.
## Minio Server configuration directory
Minio Server configurations are stored in file name ``.minio``. It's a hidden file which resides on user's home directory.
**This how the structure of the directory looks like:**
```sh
$ tree ~/.minio/
/Users/supernova/.minio/
├── certs
├── config.json
└── config.json.old
1 directory, 2 files
```
### Files and directories.
##### ``certs`` directory
``certs`` directory stores key & cert information, which are needed to run Minio in ``HTTPS``. You can read more on running Minio with ``HTTPS`` with Let's Encrypt cert with Concert [here](https://docs.minio.io/docs/generate-let-s-encypt-certificate-using-concert-for-minio)
##### ``config.json``
config.json is the configuration file for Minio, it gets generated after you install and start Minio.
```sh
$ cat config.json
