In Conduit (https://conduit.rs) there is no default config path. In order to start Conduit, you need to specify the CONDUIT_CONFIG environment variable, which is the path to your config. This will typically be done in a systemd service.

This has multiple benefits:

- You can't accidentally start Conduit with a wrong config (e.g. the config in the current working directory)

- You can have multiple Conduits running at the same time with different config

- It's easier to understand for the system administrator because there is no hidden information
