- libpod.conf is the configuration file for all tools using libpod to manage containers, when run as root. Administrators can override the defaults file by creating `/etc/containers/libpod.conf`. When Podman runs in rootless mode, the file `$HOME/.config/containers/libpod.conf` is created and replaces some fields in the system configuration file.
+ Podman has builtin defaults for command line options. These defaults can be overridden using the containers.conf configuration files.
- Podman uses builtin defaults if no libpod.conf file is found.
+Distributions ship the `/usr/share/containers/containers.conf` file with their default settings. Administrators can override fields in this file by creating the `/etc/containers/containers.conf` file. Users can further modify defaults by creating the `$HOME/.config/containers/containers.conf` file. Podman merges its builtin defaults with the specified fields from these files, if they exist. Fields specified in the users file override the administrator's file, which overrides the distribution's file, which override the built-in defaults.
