NFS on Fedora

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 20:33:48 +0000

NFS allows to share files and folders over network and is much much faster than samba while using way less resources.
To setup a NFS server on Fedora 26 install:

$ dnf install nfs-utils

Shared directories are listed in the following configuration file:

---
# Syntax
# <path> <ipaddr>(<option>)
/home/user/Public 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync)

More information can be found here: Fedora NFS administration guide.
In the above example, the the directory ‘/home/user/Public’ can be accessed by every client in the same LAN with read-only permissions.
In case SELinux is active and enforcing rules some further configuration might be required:
