create NFS volume for kubernetes simulating physical machine as a server
Commands to run on the host:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nfs-kernel-server
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sharedfolder # Export directory
sudo chown nobody:nogroup /mnt/sharedfolder
sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/
Allow Client Access:
The access to this folder should be given to the clients, this can be done by editting /etc/exports file
vi /etc/exports
Add this line at the end of the file
/mnt/sharedfolder clientIP(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
replace the clientIP with worker node IP or the IP range
Export the shared directory:
sudo exportfs -a
sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
---
Commans to run on the client:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nfs-common
Mount point:
Mount point should be set up to synchronize the contents of the NFS server on the client
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sharedfolder_client
sudo mount serverIP:/mnt/sharedfolder /mnt/sharedfolder_client
Note: Replace serverIP with NFS host IP
Test the connection:
Create a directory on the server under this path /mnt/sharedfolder, it should be reflected on the client.
