Introduction
This article shows the steps that will convert your Snakeoil computer into a basic NAS.
NFS-Server
Short for Network File Systems (NFS). This is the standard file sharing protocol used in Linux computers. You'll need a custom kernel to get this working.
- Download a custom Snakeoil Kernel with NFS server support. For example, the NAS kernel in this thread.
- Reboot the computer and verify you're on the NFS kernel
- SSH into your Snakeoil PC
- Run this command:This will install the tools needed to run your NFS server
sudo apt update; sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server -y - Create a file /etc/exports, an example:192.168.100.0/24 is an example of a subnet. Modify this to suit your home network setup. NFS options are enclosed in the brackets (). ro means ReadOnly. Refer here for other NFS options.
/media/music 192.168.100.0/24(ro,nosync,no_subtree_check)
- Next, run the follow command to export your shares:
sudo exportfs -a
- Finally, restart nfs-server:
sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
