Docker NFS Server

Serves the volume specified in the docker-compose file over NFS.

You can add content to the volume by dropping it in to the share directory before deployment and ensuring SYNC: True is set in the docker-compose file.

Usage

This container is designed for Linux operating systems. Run docker-compose up to start. It will share the content of a volume called nfs ready for connections from an NFS client.

Here is a command that can be used to connect to the shared volume from MacOS:

mount_nfs ip_or_hostname_of_NFS_server:/nfs /local/directory

Customisation of the read/write permissions and other mount related options can be set through the environment variables in the docker-compose file.
