Role Variables

Here are the variables you can use with this role, along with simple explanations:

# NFS mode: either server or client
nfs_mode: server

# Entry to be added to the /etc/exports file for sharing directories
nfs_exports:
  - path: "/home"
    export: "vnode*.localdomain(fsid=0,rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)"

# Entry to be added to the /etc/fstab file for the NFS client
nfs_client_imports:
  - local: "/home"             # Local path
    remote: "/home"            # Remote path on the server
    server_host: "{{hostvars['server']['ansible_default_ipv4']}}"  # Server's IP address

If you are using NFS client imports, you can also define these extra options:

• state: More info at Ansible Mount Module.
• opts: Learn more at Debian Fstab Wiki.
• dump: Refer to Debian Fstab Wiki for details.
• passno: Check Debian Fstab Wiki for information.

Example Playbook

Here’s an example of how to set up an NFS server and a client:

    - hosts: server
      roles:
      - { role: 'j1ngk3.nfs', nfs_mode: 'server', nfs_exports: [{path: "/home", export: "vnode*.localdomain(fsid=0,rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)"}] }

    - hosts: client
      roles:
      - { role: 'j1ngk3.nfs', nfs_mode: 'client', nfs_client_imports: [{ local: "/home", remote: "/home", server_host: "{{hostvars['server']['ansible_default_ipv4']}}" }] }
