+## Configuration
+
+Ghostream can be configured by placing [ghostream.yml](docs/ghostream.example.yml) in current directory, in `~/.ghostream/` or in `/etc/ghostream/`.
+You can also override any value using environnement variables, e.g. `GHOSTREAM_AUTH_BACKEND=ldap` will change the authentification backend.
+
 ## Streaming
 
 As stated by OBS wiki, when streaming you should adapt the latency to `2.5 * (the round-trip time with server, in μs)`.
