-# Configuration
+## Configuration
+
Oxidized configuration is in YAML format. Configuration files are subsequently sourced from `/etc/oxidized/config` then `~/.config/oxidized/config`. The hashes will be merged, this might be useful for storing source information in a system wide file and user specific configuration in the home directory (to only include a staff specific username and password). Eg. if many users are using `oxs`, see [Oxidized::Script](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized-script).
It is recommended practice to run Oxidized using its own username. This username can be added using standard command-line tools:
-```
+```shell
useradd oxidized
```
