1/ Install nfs-utils

sudo dnf install nfs-utils

2/ Enable the needed services

sudo systemctl enable rpcbind
sudo systemctl enable nfs-server
sudo service rpcbind start
sudo service nfs-server start

3/ Edit the exports file with your share

sudo vim /etc/exports

<path to your drive> 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_all_squash,root_squash,insecure,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,crossmnt)

4/ Give your drive the correct permissions

sudo chmod -R 777 /run/media/karim/Videos
sudo chown -R nobody: /run/media/karim/Videos

5/ Open the firewall for nfs

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=nfs
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=rpc-bind
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mountd
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mountd
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

6/ Apply the changes

sudo service nfs-server restart
sudo service nfs-server status

Only if errors:

sudo rm /run/systemd/system/*.mount
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo service nfs-server restart
sudo service nfs-server status

7/ Verify that all is good

sudo exportfs -v

8/ Grab your IP

ifconfig

Choose source "nfs"

nfs://<your local ip>/<path to your drive>

Say ok to the warnings, and continue, you will see your files.
