+For Home Assistant Addon installations, the config file needs to be in the root of your Home Assistant config directory (same location as `configuration.yaml`). It can be named `frigate.yml` or `frigate.yaml`, but if both files exist `frigate.yaml` will be preferred and `frigate.yml` will be ignored.
 
 For all other installation types, the config file should be mapped to `/config/config.yml` inside the container.
