# Use Libravatar service with GitLab
GitLab by default supports [Gravatar](https://gravatar.com) avatar service.
Libravatar is a service which delivers your avatar (profile picture) to other websites and their API is
[heavily based on gravatar](http://wiki.libravatar.org/api/).
This means that it is not complicated to switch to Libravatar avatar service or even self hosted Libravatar server.
# Configuration
In [gitlab.yml gravatar section](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/672bd3902d86b78d730cea809fce312ec49d39d7/config/gitlab.yml.example#L122) set
the configuration options as follows:
## For HTTP
```yml
gravatar:
enabled: true
# gravatar URLs: possible placeholders: %{hash} %{size} %{email}
plain_url: "http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=identicon"
```
## For HTTPS
```yml
gravatar:
enabled: true
# gravatar URLs: possible placeholders: %{hash} %{size} %{email}
ssl_url: "https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=identicon"
```
## Self-hosted
If you are [running your own libravatar service](http://wiki.libravatar.org/running_your_own/) the URL will be different in the configuration
but the important part is to provide the same placeholders so GitLab can parse the URL correctly.
For example, you host a service on `http://libravatar.example.com` the `plain_url` you need to supply in `gitlab.yml` is
`http://libravatar.example.com/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=identicon`
## Omnibus-gitlab example
In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
#### For http
```ruby
gitlab_rails['gravatar_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['gravatar_plain_url'] = "http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=identicon"
```
#### For https
```ruby
gitlab_rails['gravatar_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['gravatar_ssl_url'] = "https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=identicon"
```
Run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` for changes to take effect.
## Default URL for missing images
[Libravatar supports different sets](http://wiki.libravatar.org/api/) of `missing images` for emails not found on the Libravatar service.
In order to use a different set other than `identicon`, replace `&d=identicon` portion of the URL with another supported set.
For example, you can use `retro` set in which case the URL would look like: `plain_url: "http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/%{hash}?s=%{size}&d=retro"`
