New HAOS App - NFS Server

NFS Server (Ganesha) App

I’ve created a Home Assistant App (formally add-on) that provides an NFS server using nfs-ganesha. This allows you to mount your Home Assistant config, media, ssl etc folders via NFS to your desktop machine in the same way the Samba App allows you to mount the folders via a windows share.

Originally created to meet my own requirements, I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it seems to work well. So I thought I would publish it in case others could make use of it.

Important Security Fix. v1.2.0 contains a fix for a bug whereby all exports were ReadWrite to everyone, regardless of the authorised IPs configured. Any existing users are encouraged to update to v1.2.0

Features

  • Select which HA folders to export
  • IP-based access control
  • NFSv4 support only
  • Full read-write access

Hi

Thanks a lot for the share, at least possible to get rid of that crap Samba share :smiley:
Will install and report how it goes as soon as I have fixed my HAOS problem of impossible updates :wink:

Awesomesauce!

Would it be possible to use the apps recommended base images (filter for Debian) instead of vanilla bookworm? Also maybe switch to trixie since this ia the current release version.

Thank you!

I can give it a go. This is the first time i’ve tried creating an add-on/app, so its all new for me. What would switching the base image give me over the vanilla bookworm though?

Check the base images repo for more details: GitHub - home-assistant/docker-base: Home Assistant base images

All other addons I have installed are based on HA base images, but you might be right and don’t need the extra stuff (s6, jq, bashio) they put on top of the vanilla flavor.

It probably doesn’t add much as the whole thing starts up with a relatively simple shell script, but I’ll have a look at migrating if nothing else for consistency.

Decided to switch from Samba to NFS and gave this App a try. It was super easy to configure and get it up and running.

One problem though: I cannot export the addon_configs folder.

All of those log messages are normal (for the addon). What problem exactly are you having with the addon?

Sorry,
I’ve now tested mounting from another system (Debian) and NFS works.
However, I can’t mount the share on FreeBSD.
I try the command “mount 192.168.0.101:/share /mnt/share” and get an error.

[tcp] 192.168.0.101:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Program not registered

Maybe FreeBSD doesn’t support NFS3+.?

…
FOUND A SOLUTION

mount -o nfsv4 192.168.0.101:/share /mnt/share

Now it works!
Thank you for NFS in HA :slight_smile:

You’re welcome :slight_smile: I’m glad it is useful for others given I threw it together just to fix a pain point for myself.

I was going to suggest trying to force NFSv4. In theory NFSv3 should be an option as well but I think I will have to do more work to get it working. But given NFSv4 is over 20 years old at this point, I also think it would be fair just to remove v3 support.

I’ve noticed another problem
My NFS configuration is:

authorized_ips:
  - 192.168.0.80/32
 
export_folders:
  - share

Access is only set for address 192.168.0.80
but it also allows mounting from other addresses with full permissions.

I’ve been able to reproduce the problem on my system, and I think I can see whats happening, but my initial fix is not working as expected, so this might take me a little longer to resolve.

18

Ok, I’ve just pushed v1.2.0. This should fix the exports so that the authorised IPs are applied.

V1.2.0 has also removed the (broken) support for NFSv3. It wasn’t working anyway, and at this point NFSv4 is widely supported.
