+# GitLab Git LFS Administration
+
+Documentation on how to use Git LFS are under [Managing large binary files with Git LFS doc](manage_large_binaries_with_git_lfs.md).
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Git LFS is supported in GitLab starting with version 8.2.
+* Users need to install [Git LFS client](https://git-lfs.github.com) version 1.0.1 and up.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Git LFS objects can be large in size. By default, they are stored on the server GitLab is installed on.
+
+There are two configuration options to help GitLab server administrators:
+
+* Enabling/disabling Git LFS support
+* Changing the location of LFS object storage
+
+### Omnibus packages
+
+In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['lfs_enabled'] = false
+gitlab_rails['lfs_storage_path'] = "/mnt/storage/lfs-objects"
+```
+
+### Installations from source
+
+In `config/gitlab.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+  lfs:
+    enabled: false
+    storage_path: /mnt/storage/lfs-objects
+```
+
+## Known limitations
+
+* Currently, storing GitLab Git LFS objects on a non-local storage (like S3 buckets) is not supported
+* Currently, removing LFS objects from GitLab Git LFS storage is not supported
