  1. Challenge

    Set up the NFS server to export the required directory.

    First, we need to install the nfs-utils and exportfs packages. Then we can set the mount point up in /etc/exports. After exporting the filesystem, we can start the nfs-server service, and this objective is complete!

  2. Challenge

    Set up the NFS client to mount the required directory on /var/www/html and test.

    After installing the nfs-utils package, 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!
