## Common questions

### How can I check that a Kubo installation is running correctly?

Initialize a node, start the daemon, add a short text, and cat the returned CID. The quick taste also says to verify the CID is provided by your node to the IPFS network.

### What controls are available for a running Kubo daemon?

Kubo includes a WebUI for node management and an HTTP RPC API for controlling the daemon.

### Can Kubo expose IPFS paths as local filesystem paths?

Kubo has experimental FUSE mounts for /ipfs, /ipns, and /mfs as local filesystems.

### What options are available for public Kubo node operators who need to block content?

Kubo supports content blocking for public node operators.
