** On the Server ** This documents takes you through setting nfs shares on a fedora family OS. The core packages that need to be present are =autofs, nfs-utils=
sudo dnf install autofs nfs-utils
Create the directories to share. In this case two folders under the share directory
mkdir -p /shares/share{1,2}
To tell nfs-server, what folders to share we edit the ==/etc/exports== with the following lines:
/shares *(rw,no_root_squash)
For more examples on how to edit ==/etc/exports== consult the man page at man exports and navigate to the bottom of the page.
systemctl start nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-server
Allow external programs access by changing the firewall(nftables). Rpcbind, mountd, nfs are related services that need access.
for i in rpc-bind mountd nfs; do firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service $i; done;
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-services # confirm changes
On the Client Make sure the required packages are installed as seen above. Use ==showmount== to verify the shared folders.
showmount -e ip_address_server/hostname # verify /etc/hosts in case of issues
Tell autofs the shared folders to mount and the location of their config file.
# in /etc/auto.master
/shares /etc/auto.shares # replaces shares with any file/name
Tell autofs how to mount /shares in /etc/auto.shares
* -rw hostname:/shares/&
Mounts all folders exported thanks to the wildcard character. The ampersand matches any subdirectory in the ==/shares==
Start the autofs service
systemctl start autofs
systemctl enable autofs
Confirm folder gets mounted when you navigate to it cd /shares/
