# Configuration
- Headscale loads its configuration from a YAML file
- It searches for `config.yaml` in the following paths:
- `/etc/headscale`
- `$HOME/.headscale`
- the current working directory
- Use the command line flag `-c`, `--config` to load the configuration from a different path
- Validate the configuration file with: `headscale configtest`
!!! example "Get the [example configuration from the GitHub repository](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/blob/main/config-example.yaml)"
Always select the [same GitHub tag](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/tags) as the released version you use to
ensure you have the correct example configuration. The `main` branch might contain unreleased changes.
