NFS Ganesha

A user mode nfs server implemented in a container. Supports serving NFS (v3, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1 pNFS, 4.2) and 9P. This container should also be configurable with all of the nfs-ganesha supported FSAL backends.

Currently generates a config for just serving a local path over nfs. However supplying GANESHA_CONFIGFILE would allow ganesha to be pointed to a bind mounted config file for other FASLs/more advanced configuration.

Environment Placement in Config File

EXPORT
{
		# Export Id (mandatory, each EXPORT must have a unique Export_Id)
		Export_Id = ${GANESHA_EXPORT_ID};

		# Exported path (mandatory)
		Path = ${GANESHA_EXPORT};

		# Pseudo Path (for NFS v4)
		Pseudo = /;

		# Access control options
		Access_Type = RW;
		Squash = No_Root_Squash;
		Root_Access = "${GANESHA_ROOT_ACCESS}";
		Access = "${GANESHA_ACCESS}";

		# NFS protocol options
		Transports = "${GANESHA_TRANSPORTS}";
		Protocols = "${GANESHA_NFS_PROTOCOLS}";

		SecType = "sys";

		# Exporting FSAL
		FSAL {
			Name = VFS;
		}
}
