  • dataPath: The path where you want the data to be stored. You can use the default value or set your own path.
  • endpoints: The endpoint URLs that you want to use to access the Zenko CloudServer. You can use the default value or set your own URLs.

After making the necessary changes, save the file and exit nano.

Step 3: Start Zenko CloudServer
