NFS install and configure

These instructions are a basic guide for a super-user to install and configure NFS on CentOS 7. 

Note we don't maintain these instructions, because they are part of the assumed Linux knowledge for using our product. You can find up to date instructions on many Linux guide websites. And we suggest that you check out some Linux Systems Administration training resources.

1. Install NFS server

   yum install nfs-utils
   

2. Create export directory

   mkdir /opt/nfs_share
   touch /opt/nfs_share/.abiquo_repository
   chmod -R 755 /opt/nfs_share
   chown nfsnobody:nfsnobody /opt/nfs_share

3. Enable and start NFS services

   systemctl enable rpcbind
   systemctl enable nfs-server
   systemctl enable nfs-lock
   systemctl enable nfs-idmap
   systemctl start rpcbind
   systemctl start nfs-server
   systemctl start nfs-lock
   systemctl start nfs-idmap

4. Edit /etc/exports to share the NFS directory

   /opt/nfs_share    *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

5. Restart NFS service

   systemctl restart nfs-server
