Choose to override the default machine name and change Machine hostname from localhost to your machine's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Depending on how your server's network is configured, providing the FQDN in this field may sometimes create issues when trying to access Manta from another machine. If that is the case, you can try using your machine's hostname instead of the FQDN.
If there is no hostname or FQDN assigned to your machine (within the network), or if there is no DNS resolver set up, you may also use your machine's IP address.
Moreover, if you want Manta to start up every time your server starts up (recommended), check to install it as a system service.
