Overview

This image provides a hardened NFS file server for shared network storage, exporting a dedicated data volume over the kernel NFSv4 protocol. It gives teams a straightforward, standards based way to share files across many Linux clients from one central server.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers the NFS server preconfigured on a hardened, fully patched base with shared data on a dedicated disk. It is secure by default: the export is restricted to loopback until you open it to your own trusted client network, root access is squashed and there is no world open share. Server details are written to a root only file on first boot, and 24/7 support is included.

Common uses

  • Shared network storage for Linux clients
  • Central home directories or team file shares
  • A common data volume for a compute cluster
