NFS server on Ubuntu

NFS (Network File System) shares folders between Linux/Unix machines with lower overhead than Samba — the standard choice when every client is Linux, such as sharing storage between a home server and a Proxmox/VM cluster.

Questa guida è redatta a partire dalla documentazione ufficiale di NFS server on Ubuntu, linkata sopra — verifica sempre lì i nomi esatti di pacchetti/versioni prima di eseguire questi comandi su un server di produzione, poiché le versioni della distribuzione e del progetto cambiano nel tempo.

  1. 1Install the NFS server

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y nfs-kernel-server
    sudo mkdir -p /srv/nfs/shared
    sudo chown nobody:nogroup /srv/nfs/shared

  2. 2Export the share

    Add an entry to /etc/exports naming the folder and which client IPs/subnets may mount it.

    echo '/srv/nfs/shared 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)' | sudo tee -a /etc/exports
    sudo exportfs -ra
    sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server

  3. 3Mount it from a Linux client

    sudo apt install -y nfs-common
    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs-shared
    sudo mount server-ip:/srv/nfs/shared /mnt/nfs-shared

    Add an entry to /etc/fstab on the client to make the mount persist across reboots, rather than remounting it manually every time.
