# Config File
Kometa uses a YAML configuration file; this file contains settings that determine how Kometa 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, Kometa looks for the configuration file at `/config/config.yml` .
A template Configuration Template File can be found in the
[GitHub Repo ](https://github.com/Kometa-Team/Kometa/blob/master/config/config.yml.template ).
If Kometa cannot find the `config.yml` at the default location, it will attempt to rename `config.yml.template` for the user. If the template file cannot be found, Kometa will attempt to download a copy from the GitHub repository in line with the user's current branch. If this also fails, the user will have to download the Configuration Template File from the above link and manually rename it to `config.yml`
This table outlines the third-party services that Kometa can make use of. Each service has specific
requirements for setup that can be found by clicking the links within the table or in the sidebar.
