Network File System (NFS)

On a server

Bash

sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server

Bash

sudo mkdir /net-disk

Careful with ownerships.

Bash

sudo chown nobody:nogroup /net-disk

Bash

sudo chmod 777 /net-disk

Edit

Bash

sudo nano /etc/exports

Text Only

/net-disk       IP or hostname(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) IP-2(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

• or add subnet

Text Only

/somedisk   {subnetIP}/{subnetMask}(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

• Give permission to client to change permissions (no_root_squash):

Text Only

/somedisk   *(rw,insecure,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

After adding hostnames or IP you need to run:

Bash

sudo exportfs -a

On client

Bash

sudo apt install nfs-common

Bash

sudo mkdir /net-disk-client

Bash

sudo mount -t nfs IP:/net-disk /net-disk-client

Bash

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Bash

{IP of NFS server}:{folder path on server} /net-disk-client nfs defaults 0 0

Bash

mount /net-disk-client

Bash

mount {IP of NFS server}:{folder path on server}
