NFS preferably, but other protocols may help the community. @files_copying

@C1ARK-Gable We have that on our Todo list as a tutorial. We'll finish that tutorial within the next few days. Sorry about the delay!

Update: Still looks like I am being blocked by a firewall. I thought the below ports were what I needed to open but I am learning IPtables as I practice with this experiment. I am going to spend tomorrow evening reading about iptables.

#Open TCP and UDP ports 111, 32777 through 32780 on firewall to allow NFS and NFSD
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i wlan0 -s 192.168.113.0/24 -p tcp --dport 111
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i wlan0 -s 192.168.113.0/24 -p udp --dport 111
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i wlan0 -s 192.168.113.0/24 -p tcp --dport 32777:32780
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i wlan0 -s 192.168.113.0/24 -p udp --dport 32777:32780
sysctl -e

#vi /etc/hosts.allow
#portmap: 192.168.1.*

. /etc/init.d/portmap start
. /etc/init.d/portmap enable
. /etc/init.d/nfsd start
. /etc/init.d/nfsd enable

This is not yet complete but I think only the firewall port is left from this point.

NFS Server Sharing USB Fat32 Flash Drive

Test to see if USB device is recognized

If USB Drive support is needed. Otherwise continue on.

```
opkg install kmod-usb2
opkg install kmod-usb-storage-extras
```

Ran into a kernel mismatch problem. Forcing to verify setup will work.

```
opkg install --force-depends nfs-kernel-server
```

Mount device

```
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
ls /mnt 
```

Export the directory. My test method shown is INSECURE. It allows anyone to mount and write.

```
vi /etc/exports
```

Copy and paste the following line:
```
/mnt    *(rw,sync)
```

Then press `ESC`, then `:wq` to save and exit out of `vi`.

Reload and apply changes

```
exportfs -ar
```

Switch to other computer now

```
mount onionomega:/mnt /mnt
```

I hit this wall so far. I have to sleep now but will put some more time in it tomorrow evening after work. I think I have to open a port on the onion.

```
$ sudo mount -vvv onionomega:/mnt /mnt/usb/

@Boken-Lin Is your todo list posted anywhere? I would love some ideas for projects to play with. Even if all you have is a text file it would be nice to see .

Boken Lin

@files_copying Ha! Posting our roadmap (for both software releases and tutorials) has been on the todo list as well! I'll make sure I have that online by tomorrow!

C1ARK Gable

Thanks for all your help guys! Great community!

SSHFS works very well
source:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sshfs.server

opkg install openssh-sftp-server

client# sshfs user@onionomega:/remote/mountpoint /local/mountpoint

Done. Not sure how many devices are able to use SSHFS though.

Any info on where I may find that tutorial?

Luciano S.

@Yeshwanth-Shenoy , @Boken-Lin is refering to the roadmap a year ago.

The tutorial should be in the wiki.onion.io if someone made it With the search function I could not find it.

Manuel Godinez

I haven't found anything either yet. Was it forgotten by the Onion team maybe?? Last post that said it was ready to be posted, it was a year ago.....

Bump for new solutions.

@Lazar-Demin Thanks for the post. I just tried to do this and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I know that samba is working as I am able to access my home folders. But, the usbshare is not working. This is what I have:

config 'usbshare'
option 'name' 'usb'
option 'description' 'USB Drive'
option 'path' '/tmp/run/mountd/sda1'
option 'users' 'root'
option 'read_only' 'no'
option 'guest_ok' 'no'

I know that my path option is not the same as what you had, but I was trying to debug it and decided to not use the symlink.

When I try to connect to smb://<ip>/usb it doesn't allow the connection, but if I connect to just smb://<ip> it accesses roots hold folder.:

Thanks for the help.

Petersen Gross

I was able to get it working with some tweaking. The problem was with the config 'usbshare' I changed this to config 'sambashare' and it worked.
