Written by Wim Stockman - on 11 februari 2024

Installation

To install you need the nfs-utils-runit package

this will install the nfs-utils package and the necessairy sv scripts

sudo pacman -S nfs-utils-runit

Service to start or enabel.

You need 3 services for the nfs-server to run

statd
rpcbind
nfs-server

To enable these create the followin symbolic links

ln -s /etc/runit/sv/statd /run/runit/service/

ln -s /etc/runit/sv/rpcbind /run/runit/service/

ln -s /etc/runit/sv/nfs-server /run/runit/service/

To start these:

sudo sv start statd

sudo sv start rpcbind

sudo sv start nfs-server

Configure your folders you want to share.

On a nfs server you have to export your folders in the /etc/exports file.

you can find the manual : man exports

/etc/exports:

#folder_you_want_to_share	hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs	192.168.1.3(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

#for a range of IPs
/srv/nfs	192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

after saving the file run:

exportfs -arv

To mount the shared NFS folder on your client computer

sudo mount servername:/srv/nfs /mnt/nfs

Don't forget to unmout before shutting down

You can also add it to your /etc/fstab to automount on startup.

Have a nice Linux Day
