# Ship Base-Images with Git LFS

**Project:** Applications | **Board:** Live | **Votes:** 1
**URL:** https://roadmap.ploi.cloud/projects/3-applications/items/106-ship-base-images-with-git-lsf

---

**Current status:**
If a repository makes use of lfs (which is widely supported by github, gitlab… as well as many hosters), the lfs-tracked files will be missing after cloning the repository to ploi.cloud

**Proposal:**
Preinstall Git lfs within the Dockerfile and run `git lfs install` before cloning the apps repo.

**Effect:**
The repositories contain all lfs-tracked files. When lfs is installed and enabled for git, it is already being handled within git clone. There are no further steps involved. If a repo doesn't make use of lfs, the behaviour stays the same.
