Ansible Role: NFS

This role installs NFS (Network File System) tools on RedHat/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Requirements

No special requirements.

Role Variables

Here are the available variables and their default values (see defaults/main.yml):

• nfs_exports: []

  This is a list of shared folders (exports) that will be added to the /etc/exports file. For more details and examples, check Ubuntu's simple NFS guide. For example, you can set it like this: nfs_exports: [ "/home/public *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)" ].

• nfs_rpcbind_state: started

• nfs_rpcbind_enabled: true

  These settings are for RedHat/CentOS/Fedora only. They determine the status of the rpcbind service and whether it should start automatically when the system boots.

Dependencies
