Setting up the NFS server
To set up the NFS server, we need to configurate several things:
-
open ports for the clients to connect: we will actually disable the entire firewall for simplicity stakes, but we could be more precise in the ports we open
-
Enable the NFS server
systemd
services -
Define the export point:
/srv/shared
in our case
server = { pkgs, ... }: {
# Disable the firewall
networking.firewall.enable = false;
# Enable the nfs server services
services.nfs.server.enable = true;
# Define a mount point at /srv/shared
services.nfs.server.exports = ''
/srv/shared *(rw,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,no_root_squash)
'';
services.nfs.server.createMountPoints = true;
# we also add the htop package for light monitoring
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ htop ];
};
