# Server configuration

The Incus server can be configured through a set of key/value configuration options.

The key/value configuration is namespaced.
The following options are available:

- {ref}`server-options-core`
- {ref}`server-options-acme`
- {ref}`server-options-cluster`
- {ref}`server-options-images`
- {ref}`server-options-loki`
- {ref}`server-options-misc`
- {ref}`server-options-oidc`
- {ref}`server-options-openfga`
