# Workspace Storage
Gitpod uses bucket storage to persist the contents of workspaces. Each workspace is tarballed into a single archive file which is then uploaded to a separate bucket.
By default Gitpod installs [MinIO](https://min.io/) as built-in bucket storage which uses a [persistent volume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) to store workspace content.
For more complex use case we recommend configuring more permanent means of persistence by either:
* Configure the contained MinIO-instance to serve as a [gateway](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/gateway) OR configure one of a [wide range of storage backends](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#types-of-persistent-volumes).
* Bring your own storage bucket: Configure Gitpod to either connect to:
* your own installation of MinIO
* a Google Cloud Storage compatible storage solution
## a) Configure custom MinIO instance
1. Create a file `values.custom.yaml` with this content:
```yaml
components:
contentService:
remoteStorage:
kind: minio
minio:
endpoint: your-minio-installation.somewhere-else.com:8080
accessKey: enterKeyHere
secretKey: superSecretKeyGoesHere
tmpdir: /tmp
# Disable built-in minio instance
minio:
enabled: false
```
2. Redeploy Gitpod using `helm upgrade --install -f values.custom.yaml gitpod gitpod.io/gitpod --version=0.8.0` to apply the changes
> Note that Helm does _not_ merge hierarchies in a single file. Please make sure there is only ever _one_ `components` hierarchy or the last one overwrites all previous values.
## b) Configure the built-in MinIO instance
1. Consult the chart's documentation at https://helm.min.io/
2. Create a file `values.custom.yaml` with this content:
```yaml
minio:
accessKey: add-a-radom-access-key-here
secretKey: add-a-radom-secret-key-here
# insert custom config here
```
3. Redeploy Gitpod using `helm upgrade --install -f values.custom.yaml gitpod gitpod.io/gitpod --version=0.8.0` to apply the changes
