cargo-nfs3-server

cargo-nfs3-server is a simple and easy-to-deploy NFSv3 server designed for quick file transfers. Whether you need to share files temporarily or test NFSv3 functionality, this tool provides a lightweight and straightforward solution.

Features

• Quick Setup: Start serving files with minimal configuration.
• In-Memory Filesystem: Option to use an in-memory filesystem for temporary file storage.
• Read-Only Mode: Serve files in a read-only mode for added safety.

Limitations

• Not Production-Ready: This server is not designed for long-term or production use. Running it 24/7 may lead to unexpected issues.
• No Security: NFSv3 is an insecure protocol. All data transmitted is unencrypted and vulnerable to interception.

Usage

Installation

To use cargo-nfs3-server, ensure you have Rust installed. Then run cargo install

cargo install cargo-nfs3-server

Running the Server

You can start the server with the following command:

cargo-nfs3-server --path <directory-to-serve> --bind-ip <ip-address> --bind-port <port>

Example:

cargo-nfs3-server --path ./shared --bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --bind-port 11111

Options

• --path: Path to the directory to serve (required unless using --memfs).
• --bind-ip: IP address to bind the server to (default: 0.0.0.0).
• --bind-port: Port to bind the server to (default: 11111).
• --readonly: Serve the directory as read-only.
• --memfs: Use an in-memory filesystem instead of a directory.
• --log-level: Set the log level (error, warn, info, debug, trace).
• --log-file: Path to a file for logging output.
• --quiet: Disable console logging.
