# Config File

Plex Meta Manager uses a YAML configuration file; this file contains settings that determine how Plex Meta Manager behaves, and the required connection details needed to connect to Plex Media Server, Radarr, Sonarr, and other third-party services via API.

By default, and unless otherwise stated, Plex Meta Manager looks for the configuration file at `/config/config.yml`.

A template Configuration File can be found in the [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/master/config/config.yml.template).

This table outlines the third-party services that Plex Meta Manager can make use of. Each service has specific requirements for setup that can be found by clicking the links within the table.
