I'm hoping to find something like this:<br />
How to Setup NFS (Network File System) on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.tecmint.com/how-to-setup-nfs-server-in-linux/" rel="ugc">https://www.tecmint.com/how-to-setup-nfs-server-in-linux/</a><br />
<br />
... except that article is for Red Hat linux and it's 5 years old.<br />
<br />
I need to set up both the server end as well as the client end.
</div>


<div>
edit /etc/exports usually<br />
here you can define who is authorized to access and what to access.<br />
you have to make sure to configure the firewall, ufw to allow access to the NFSd service, RPC, and lockd.<br />
<br />
The variation are minimal and depend on which NFS version you want to use.<br />
<br />
on the client end, you would add the <br />
<br />
server:.ahrename NFS and where you want it mount <br />
man mount.nfs<br />
<br />
<br />
mount -t nfs -o RO servername:/sharename /mnt

The purpose of this server is to serve files to students in a student lab who need to watch videos and read various recommended documents.<br />
<br />
I'll submit a parallel question about &quot;Best Practices&quot; kinds of suggestions about how to set up that student machine.
</div>


<div>
Why via NFS? Why not through a web browser, streaming server?<br />
Simpler setup, all users have to do is use the browser to access the URL you provide
</div>


<div>
Why NFS? &nbsp;I don't know - I'm not designing this, my boss says to use NFS. &nbsp;I'll ask.<br />
To be clear - you are way ahead of me. &nbsp;I need an easy-to-follow procedure, starting at step 1 with an installed linux system.<br />
<br />
Thanks

<div>
Thank you so much, arnold and MadUnix.<br />
<br />
I'll try this out tonight.

How to set up an NFS share in Ubuntu

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.

Ubuntu

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

Linux OS Dev

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
