Why is Bibucket Server storing LFS objects locally?

[wojwenc]

I've set up Bitbucket Server wit PostgreSQL db successfully, but I have a problem with LFS. I did everything according to this guide. At first it seems to work as there are no errors when pushing or pulling. The problem is that the files are stored locally in my repo and on the server at the same time. What can be causing this issue?

Hey Wojwen

From what I can understand your description, this is the expected behavior of Bitbucket Server.

As the documentation states, Bitbucket Server includes an embedded LFS object store, allowing storage of large files without the need for an external object store.

Git is a distributed version control system, the entire history of the repository is transferred to the client during the cloning process.

More information can be found at Git LFS.
