To create an NFS share, you'll first need to install the `nfs-kernel-server` package. You can do this by running the following command:

{{< code language="BASH"  expand="Show" collapse="Hide" isCollapsed="false" >}}
sudo apt install -y nfs-kernel-server
{{< /code >}}

Once the installation is complete, navigate to the `/etc/exports` file and add the following configuration (this is just an example):

{{< code language="BASH"  expand="Show" collapse="Hide" isCollapsed="false" >}}
/data/library 192.168.0.0/16(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
{{< /code >}}

To mount the NFS share on a client machine, you'll need the `nfs-common` package. Install it by running:

{{< code language="BASH"  expand="Show" collapse="Hide" isCollapsed="false" >}}
sudo apt install -y nfs-common
{{< /code >}}

Next, open the `/etc/fstab` file and add the following entry:

{{< code language="BASH"  expand="Show" collapse="Hide" isCollapsed="false" >}}
192.168.1.207:/data/library /data/library/ nfs defaults,user,auto,nofail,_netdev,bg 0 0
{{< /code >}}

If you prefer to mount the share without using `/etc/fstab`, you can run the following command:

{{< code language="BASH"  expand="Show" collapse="Hide" isCollapsed="false" >}}
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.207:/data/library /mnt/temp
{{< /code >}}

That's it! You should now have your NFS share set up and ready to use. Let me know if you need further assistance.
