Challenge
Set up the NFS server to export the required directory.

nfs-utilsandexportfspackages. Then we can set the mount point up in/etc/exports. After exporting the filesystem, we can start thenfs-serverservice, and this objective is complete! -
Challenge
Set up the NFS client to mount the required directory on /var/www/html and test.
After installing the
nfs-utilspackage, we need to mount the export on/var/www/html. Once that is complete, we can start the Apache service. Finally, open a browser to the client-server's public IP and check out the awesome page that you enabled!
