I assume that you have a Centos installation.

Installation

You can copy/paste this script and use it to configure automatically your server.

echo "install nfs tools"
dnf -y install nfs-utils
 
echo "start nfs on startup"
systemctl enable rpcbind.service
systemctl enable nfs.service
 
echo "start service"
systemctl start rpcbind.service
systemctl start nfs.service
 
echo "add right to anonymous user NFS (id 65534)"
mkdir -p /opt/nfs
chown 65534:65534 /opt/nfs
chmod 755 /opt/nfs
 
echo "add rule to enable connection for client 192.168.0.10 (must set ip address)"
cat > /etc/exports << "EOF"
/opt/nfs           192.168.0.10(rw,sync) 
EOF
 
echo "enable rules"
exportfs -a
 
echo "add service nfs (ports 111,2049,4045) to firewall"
echo "to find port list : rpcinfo -p"
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service nfs
 
echo "reload firewall-cmd"
firewall-cmd --reload
 
 

Client side

echo "install nfs tools"
yum -y install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
 
echo "start nfs on startup"
chkconfig rpcbind on
chkconfig nfs on
 
echo "start service"
service rpcbind start
service nfs start
 
# Add this line to you /etc/fstab:
# myserver:/opt/nfs  /mnt/nfs   nfs      rw,sync,hard,intr  0     0

That’s all 🙂
