 +====== Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up NFS Server and Client======
 +
 +NFS (Network File System) enables file and directory sharing across a network. Here's the guide to set it up.
 +
 +===== Prerequisites =====
 +  * **Server**: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
 +  * **Client**: Linux system (Ubuntu preferred).
 +  * **Permissions**: Root or `sudo` access.
 +
 +===== Setting Up the NFS Server =====
 +
 +==== 1. Install NFS Kernel Server ====
 +Update and install:
 +   sudo apt update
 +   sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server 
 +
 +==== 2. Create and Configure the Export Directory ====
 +Create the directory:
 +   sudo mkdir -p /srv/nfs/share
 +  
 +Set ownership and permissions:
 +   sudo chown nobody:nogroup /srv/nfs/share
 +   sudo chmod 777 /srv/nfs/share
 +
 +==== 3. Edit NFS Exports ====
 +Add the following to `/etc/exports` (replace `<client_ip>`):
 +   /srv/nfs/share <client_ip>(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
 +  
 +Export the changes:
 +   sudo exportfs -a
 +
 +==== 4. Start NFS Service ====
 +Enable and start the service:
 +   sudo systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server
 +   sudo systemctl start nfs-kernel-server
 +
 +==== 5. Configure Firewall ====
 +Allow NFS traffic:
 +   sudo ufw allow from <client_ip> to any port nfs
 +  
 +Enable UFW and check the status:
 +   sudo ufw enable
 +   sudo ufw status
 +    
 +===== Setting Up the NFS Client =====
 +
 +The client in this case is the server where Kubernetes is installed and running.
 +
 +==== 1. Install NFS Common Package ====
 +Update and install:
 +   sudo apt update
 +   sudo apt install nfs-common
 +
 +==== 2. Create a Mount Point ====
 +Create the directory:
 +   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_clientshare
 +    
 +
 +==== 3. Mount the NFS Share ====
 +Mount the shared directory (replace `<nfs_server_ip>`):
 +   sudo mount <nfs_server_ip>:/srv/nfs/share /mnt/nfs_clientshare
 +
 +==== 4. Verify Mount ====
 +Check mounted filesystems:
 +   df -h | grep nfs_clientshare
 +  
 +List files in the mounted directory:
 +   ls /mnt/nfs_clientshare
 +
 +Your NFS server and client setup is complete, enabling efficient file sharing over the network. Ensure regular updates and security checks for optimal performance.
