OpenRAG supports multiple configuration methods with the following priority, from highest to lowest:
1. [Configuration file (`config.yaml`)](#configuration-file) - The `config.yaml` file is generated with values input during [Application onboarding](/install#application-onboarding), and configure the [OpenRAG configuration variables](#openrag-config-variables). These values configure OpenRAG application behavior.
1. [Configuration file (`config.yaml`)](#configuration-file) - The `config.yaml` file is generated with values input during [Application onboarding](/install#application-onboarding), and controls the [OpenRAG configuration variables](#openrag-config-variables).
2. [Environment variables](#environment-variables) - Environment variables control how OpenRAG connects to services. Environment variables in the `.env` control underlying services such as Langflow authentication, Oauth settings, and OpenSearch security.
3. [Langflow runtime overrides](#langflow-runtime-overrides)
4. [Default or fallback values](#default-values-and-fallbacks)
## Configuration file (`config.yaml) {#configuration-file}
The `config.yaml` file controls what OpenRAG _does_, including language model and embedding model provider, Docling ingestion settings, and API keys.
The `config.yaml` file overrides values in the `.env` if the variable is present in both files.
```yaml
config.yaml:
provider:
model_provider: openai

## Environment variables
You can create a `.env` file in the project root to set these variables, or set them in the TUI, which will create a `.env` file for you.
