This PR adds a validation step to ensure the server's
$HOSTis not mapped to a loopback address (e.g., 127.0.1.1 or 127.0.0.1) in/etc/hosts.Problem solved :

The Greenlight containers attempt to resolve the BBB API locally instead of via the public IP, leading to 400 Bad Request errors when starting rooms.
