 ## Configuration
 
-The file `config.go` contains a configuration struct containing all possible configuration options for Poseidon. The file also defines default values for all configuration options.  
-The options can be overridden with a `configuration.yaml` configuration file in the project root. `configuration.yaml.example` is an example for a configuration file.  
-The options can also be overridden by environment variables. Currently, only the Go types `string`, `int`, `bool` and `struct` (nesting is possible) are implemented. The name of the environment variable is constructed as follows: `POSEIDON_(<name of nested struct>_)*<name of field>` (all letters are uppercase).
+The file `config/config.go` contains a configuration struct containing all possible configuration options for Poseidon. The file also defines default values for most of the configuration options.  
+The options *can* be overridden with a yaml configuration file whose path can be configured with the flag `-config`. By default, Poseidon searches for `configuration.yaml` in the project root. `configuration.example.yaml` is an example for a configuration file and contains explanations for all options.  
+The options *can* also be overridden by environment variables. Currently, only the Go types `string`, `int`, `bool` and `struct` (nested) are implemented. The name of the environment variable is constructed as follows: `POSEIDON_(<name of nested struct>_)*<name of field>` (all letters are uppercase).
 
 The precedence of configuration possibilities is:
 
 1. Environment variables
-1. `configuration.yaml`
+1. Configuration file
 1. Default values
 
 If a value is not specified, the value of the subsequent possibility is used.
 
 ### Example
 
-- The default value for the `Port` (type `int`) field in the `Server` field (type `struct`) of the configuration is `3000`.
+- The default value for the `Port` (type `int`) field in the `Server` field (type `struct`) of the configuration is `7200`.
 - This can be overwritten with the following `configuration.yaml`:
