Following-up discussion on #110 (comment), we are currently lacking easy step-by-step graphical instructions on how to access NFS exports from clients. See below for details:

NFS:

  • Linux: nothing in clients.rst, nothing in service page: Add graphical instructions in service page.
  • MacOS: nothing in clients.rst, nothing in service page: Add instructions in service page. Does recent MacOS support a GUI-way to do that or is it only command line?
  • Windows: nothing in clients.rst, nothing in service page: a quick online search seems to indicate that although Windows 10 supports mounting an NFS share, it might require quite some work (activating a service, editing the Windows registry, manual mounting, ...).

Note that for the Windows section, it was recommended to link to an external tutorial as this is not a recommended way:

For the NFS windows section I say we just link to a good guide as if it's so tricky it's not likely to be a common config anyway. We can always add to it later.
