To set up an NFS (Network File System) server on Linux, install nfs-kernel-server (Ubuntu/Debian) or nfs-utils (RHEL/Fedora), create a shared directory, define the export rules in /etc/exports with client IP addresses and permissions, restart the NFS service, and mount the share on client machines.

Set Up the NFS Server

• Install the server package:
  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt update && sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
  • RHEL/Fedora/Rocky: sudo dnf install nfs-utils
• Create a directory to share: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_share
• Adjust folder permissions so clients can access it: sudo chown nobody:nogroup /mnt/nfs_share (or set custom permissions) [1, 2, 3]
• Edit /etc/exports using a text editor to add your share rules:
  /mnt/nfs_share 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
• Export the shared directories: sudo exportfs -a
• Enable and start the service: sudo systemctl enable --now nfs-server
• Allow NFS through your firewall (e.g., UFW): sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port nfs

Set Up the NFS Client

• Install client utilities:
  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install nfs-common
  • RHEL/Fedora/Rocky: sudo dnf install nfs-utils
• Create a local mount point directory: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/client_share
• Mount the remote share temporarily to test: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/mnt/nfs_share /mnt/client_share
• Make the mount permanent across reboots by adding this line to /etc/client's /etc/fstab:
  192.168.1.100:/mnt/nfs_share /mnt/client_share nfs defaults,nofail 0 0
