# Installing NFS on Xenial

A quick crib on how to install and start an NFS server on Xenial

## Install the packages

Update package repo, of course, then install the server

```
apt update
apt upgrade
apt install nfs-kernel-server
```

## Set up Directory to be Exported

I will use an ISO archive as an example

```
mkdir /ISOs
chmod 777 ISOs
```

## Set up /etc/exports

```
cat > /etc/exports << EOF
/ISOs                   198.180.152.30/31(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/ISOs                   198.180.152.32/31(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
EOF
```

## Start Daemon

```
systemctl start nfs-kernel-server.service
```

## Be Sure it Starts on Boot

```
systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server
```
