Ubuntu NFS Server Setup
Posted by Kyle Pericak in systems administration
Install & Configure NFS Server
These steps were tested on Ubuntu 18.04.
# Install the NFS server package
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
# Make a directory to publish
mkdir /nfs
# Set permissions
chown nobody:nogroup /nfs
chmod 777 /nfs
Configure NFS by writing /etc/exports. In this example I'm allowing access
from anyone on the 10.10.0.0/16 subnet. This is only secure if you trust that
entire subnet and any systems which might be routed to it.
/nfs 10.10.0.0/16(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Apply the changes
exportfs -a
systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
NFS client setup
# Install client software
apt-get install nfs-common
# Create mount point
mkdir /nfs
# Mount the NFS share manually
mount 10.10.10.9:/nfs /nfs
