- Spin up a new EC2 instance with RHEL Linux 8 Operating System
- Configure LVM on the server
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/vg-nfs/lv-apps
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/vg-nfs/lv-logs
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/vg-nfs/lv-opt
- Install NFS server, configure it to start on reboot and make sure it is u and running
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum install nfs-utils -y
sudo systemctl start nfs-server.service
sudo systemctl enable nfs-server.service
sudo systemctl status nfs-server.service
- Make sure we set up permission that will allow our Web servers to read, write and execute files on NFS:
sudo chown -R nobody: /mnt/apps
sudo chown -R nobody: /mnt/logs
sudo chown -R nobody: /mnt/opt
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/apps
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/logs
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/opt
sudo systemctl restart nfs-server.service
- Configure access to NFS for clients within the same subnet
sudo vi /etc/exports
/mnt/apps <Subnet-CIDR>(rw,sync,no_all_squash,no_root_squash)
/mnt/logs <Subnet-CIDR>(rw,sync,no_all_squash,no_root_squash)
/mnt/opt <Subnet-CIDR>(rw,sync,no_all_squash,no_root_squash)
- Then export the filesystem to the clients
sudo exportfs -arv
- Check which port is used by NFS and open it using Security Groups (add new Inbound Rule)
