The file can be edited directly, however you can also use the command line option (`pihole-FTL --config`) or the web interface.

There is also an outline of the configuration options in the [api documentation](../api/index.md#accessing-the-api-documentation).

## Pi-hole configuration file example - `pihole.toml`:

```toml

@rdwebdesign it does look like that file is all that is being embedded, though - how could one generate it to include here otherwise without spinning up a container or similar?

I don't understand your question.

Embed a file is exactly the intention of this PR, but the file above was used just as an example. This PR is not finished (it's a draft).

As explained, we (Pi-hole team) need to create a process (probably during the build process) to generate/update a file with the default values and host this file in our server (the URL is not defined yet).

When this is done, this new file will be used to generate the Docs Page.

Understood, thanks. Had missed that this PR was draft and intending to embed something more "true" than the test file.
