Hostname Resolution

The host names of all active Bloo components should resolve with each other. You can use a hosts file or a domain name server to resolve hostnames and IP addresses on a Bloo deployment.

Clock sync with NTP

If you have an NTP Server configured already on your network, then configure its services accordingly on all Bloo active components.

Storage Mounts

Bloo is installed within /Bloo folder, to mount a SSD storage separately, then you have to create a /Bloo directory and mount your SSD storage on it.
