### Setting up NFS
2
+
3
+
#### Server
4
+
5
+
install the server package:
6
+
```sh
7
+
apt install nfs-kernel-server
8
+
```
9
+
10
+
add shares to /etc/exports; for example:
11
+
```
12
+
<local-path> <remote-ip-(range)/CIDR>(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
13
+
```
14
+
15
+
if the remote user has a different userid you can use nfsidmap;
16
+
or use the simple approach of mapping all users to a specific uid on the server.
17
+
18
+
by adding `all_squash,anonuid=<uid-of-choice>` like this:
19
+
20
+
```
21
+
<local-path> <remote-ip-(range)/CIDR>(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=<uid-of-choice>)
22
+
```
23
+
24
+
you can then export your exports using
25
+
```sh
26
+
exportfs -arv
27
+
```
28
+
-a -> all
29
+
-r -> reexport
30
+
-v -> list exported shares
31
+
32
+
33
+
#### Client
34
+
35
+
install the client package:
36
+
```sh
37
+
apt install nfs-common
38
+
```
39
+
40
+
mount your nfs share using:
41
+
```sh
42
+
mount -t nfs4 <nfs-server-ip/hostname>:<share-path> <local-path>
43
+
```
44
+
45
+
assuming that worked; add it to /etc/fstab so it gets mounted at boot
46
+
```
47
+
<nfs-server-ip/hostname>:<share-path> <local-path> nfs4 defaults,user,exec 0 0
48
+
```
49
+
50
+
if you arnt certain the share will always be available; add `noauto`
51
+
```
52
+
<nfs-server-ip/hostname>:<share-path> <local-path> nfs4 defaults,user,exec,noauto 0 0
53
+
```
54
+
and then use `mount -a` to mount it
