HowTo deploy

bosh upload-release
bosh releases | grep nfs

customize local.yml and deploy

bosh deploy manifest-real.yml -d nfsserver

explore with

bosh ssh -d nfsserver
sudo su -
monit summary
df -h
cd /var/vcap/store/nfsserver/

You will note that the user vcap, group vcap exists in BOSH deployed VM with uid 1000 and gid 1000. The persistent volume /export/vol1 (for example - see the jobs/ folder to change) is rw for vcap. Note that this is different uid/gid from the Diego vcap container user which is uid 2000 gid 2000. The nfsserver self-mount into /export/vol1 as test (for example - see the jobs/ folder to change)

Sample app

You can explore pora https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-volume-services-acceptance-tests/tree/master/assets/pora

# After it is enabled in PAS with also the NFS service broker deployed thru the errand
# with configuration in OpsManager

# as cf admin
cf enable-service-access nfs

# as a user I must know the address and info for my persistent volume NFS server and path
cf create-service nfs Existing nfs-demo -c '{"share": "{nfsserver-ip}/export/vol2"}'

cf push --no-start

# We use the NFS uid/gid here
cf bind-service pora nfs-demo -c '{"uid":"1000","gid":"1000"}'

cf restage pora

cf logs pora --recent
