Enable and Configure NFS on Linux
Last Updated 8 days ago
First install NFS (if not already) with your package manager (apt / yum / ipkg / dnf etc)
(apt/dnf/yum/) install nfs-kernel-server
Create a mount point for the NFS shares, such as
mkdir /var/nfs
Change permissions on /var/nfs if required.
Create /etc/exports and add
/var/nfs 10.1.2.3(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Where 10.1.2.3 is the server that you're granting access to. If you want more than one server, list them one per line. If you want a remote to only be able to read, not write then change rw to ro.
Update the export tables with:
exportfs -a
Finally restart the NFS service:
systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
And that's it, NFS is now enabled on your linux box and can be used.
