    apt-get install nfs-kernel-server portmap
    ```bash
    apt-get install nfs-kernel-server portmap

    Open the exports file:
    vim /etc/exports
    ```bash
    vim /etc/exports
    ```

    Add the following line:
    /home/proudlygeek localhost(insecure,rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
    ```bash
    /home/proudlygeek localhost(insecure,rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
    ```

    Restart NFS Service:
    service nfs-kernel-server restart
    ```bash
    service nfs-kernel-server restart
    ```
    or just export the FS:

    ```bash
    exportfs -a
    ```

    Install the client:
    apt-get install nfs-common portmap
    ```bash
    apt-get install nfs-common portmap
    ```
    Make a mount folder:
    mkdir /mnt/nfs-share
    ```bash
    mkdir /mnt/nfs-share
    ```
    Setup an SSH tunnel (local-to-remote port):
    ssh -fNv -L 3049:localhost:2049 user@hostname
    ```bash
    ssh -fNv -L 3049:localhost:2049 user@hostname
    ```
    Mount the folder:
    mount -t nfs -o port=3049 localhost:/home/proudlygeek /mnt/nfs-share
    ```bash
    mount -t nfs -o port=3049 localhost:/home/proudlygeek /mnt/nfs-share
