NFS network share

[randyjc]

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue while trying to share a folder over my network with another Linux server. I’ve set up an NFS server on Cloudron and anticipated it to work smoothly. However, I’m encountering a problem where the port seems to be blocked? I’m using Tailscale to establish the connection between the two servers.

When attempting to connect from the client side, I’m consistently getting a timeout error. I’ve tried troubleshooting, but so far, I’m unable to resolve this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

@randyjc that's correct, you have to explicitly whitelist the NFS port in the firewall - https://docs.cloudron.io/networking/#whitelist-ports

Very important note: NFS traffic is usually unencrypted. See the note in https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#nfs

@girish Oke feel stupid. That worked, thank you.

I’m using Tailscale IP, so all traffic is going via the tunnel. My assumption is that it doesn’t matter if it’s not encrypted as long as I use the Tailscale tunnel? ‍️
