5.0 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

nfs

Manage NFS client/server elements with modern nfs-utils.

Table of Contents

  3. Usage - Configuration options and additional functionality
  4. Limitations - OS compatibility, etc.
  5. Development - Guide for contributing to the module

Description

The nfs-utils version 2 utilities can take most of their settings from the /etc/nfs.conf. This module attempts to make setting those options easier.

Similiarly, mount.nfs can get options from /etc/nfsmount.conf.

Additionally, an easy way to populate /etc/idmapd.conf is provided.

This module also provides an interface to setup NFS exports.

Folks wanting to mount NFS shares should use the mount type. Possibly via stdlib::manage in hiera.

Setup

What nfs affects

This module will manage the NFS packages, configs, exports, and services.

Setup Requirements

See the metadata.json for module requirements.

Beginning with nfs

By default this module will disable client and server elements. You'll need to decide which bits you want enabled on what hosts.

This module should work well with hiera or a feature rich ENC.

Usage

Setup a client permitting NFSv3 and NFSv4 along with Kerberos security:

class {'nfs':
  client => true,
  client_nfsv3_support => true,
  client_nfsv4_support => true,
  client_kerberos_support => true,
}

or hiera

nfs::client: true
nfs::client_nfsv3_support: true
nfs::client_nfsv4_support: true
nfs::client_kerberos_support: true

Setup host as a client and a server:

class {'nfs':
  client => true,
  server => true,
}

or hiera

nfs::client: true
nfs::server: true

Setup a server permitting NFSv3 and NFSv4 along with Kerberos security and GSSProxy. Also setup two exports, but leave any unmanaged files in /etc/exports.d/ NOTE: if you drop your own files in /etc/exports.d/ you should notify one of: Class['nfs'] Class['nfs::service'] Class['nfs::service::exportfs']

class {'nfs':
  use_gssproxy => true,

  server => true,
  server_nfsv3_support => true,
  server_nfsv4_support => true,
  server_kerberos_support => true,

  exportfs_arguments => [ '-a', ],
  purge_unmanaged_exports => false,
  exports => {
    '/export/path' => {
      'clients' => {
        '127.0.0.1' => ['rw', 'no_subtree_check'],
        '*.example.com' => ['rw', 'sec=krb5', 'no_subtree_check'],
      }
    },
    'Detailed Example' => {
      'export_path' => '/my/nfs/path',
      'config_file' => '/etc/exports.d/puppet.exports',
      'comment' => "Some Optional Free Text",
      'clients' => {
        '127.0.0.1' => ['rw', 'no_subtree_check'],
        '*.example.com' => ['rw', 'sec=krb5', 'no_subtree_check'],
      }
    }
  }

Set specific config settings for individual services NOTE: if you drop your own files in /etc/nfs.conf.d/ you should notify one of: Class['nfs'] Class['nfs::service'] NOTE: if you drop your own files in /etc/nfsmount.conf.d/ you should notify any relevant NFS mounts you've specified.
