NFS-RPI

ansible configuration for setting up a network file share my raspberry-pi

Why would you do this?

why not?

Interesting how do i use?

If you haven't already, install ansible on your host machine

Edit the vars as required

# nfs/vars/main.yml 
---
# vars file for ./nfs
shared_dir_name: void_drive
usb_drive: /dev/sda1 

Edit the inventory

# inventory.ini
[all]
yourserver.local

Run the playbook

 ansible-playbook playbook.yaml

mount the drive to you machine

sudo mount -o vers=4,resvport -t nfs serverip:/mnt/void_drive ~/location/on/your/machine

Troubleshooting

if for some reason this doesn't seem to work here are somethings to try

• Check if the drive is indeed mounted on your rpi or target machine ( df -h) is your friend ;)

  • if it's not try mounting it manually

• restart nfs sudo systemctl restart nfs-server

Happy hacking!!
