# Configuration Reference

BaraDB can be configured via **environment variables**, a **config file**, or **command-line flags**.

## Priority Order

1. Command-line flags (highest priority)
2. Environment variables
3. Config file (`baradb.conf` or `baradb.json`)
4. Built-in defaults (lowest priority)
