Mount /var/lib/nethserver via NFS

There is a similar topic about nextcloud, but I suppose a different topic can be ok.
I’m interested to mount /var/lib/nethserver or …/vmail, /ibay, /nextcloud, … to a NFS shared folder.
I read some old threads but I am interested to know if there are problems to mount these folders to an NFS share via /etc/fstab?

Thanks, P.

linux allows this, I do not know why it could not be possible, the only thing you must verify is during the backup, does your remote point will be available

During wich backup? The Nethserver data backup?

I suppose that if the NFS share is active it is read without problem (and it must be active if I use it).
In the NFS server /etc/exports I use::
/DATA/VMAIL 172.16.1.11(async,rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

In the Nethserver VM /etc/fstab I use:
172.16.61.1:/DATA/WWW/VMAIL /var/lib/nethserver/vmail nfs auto,rw 0 0

In my intention I want use a small Proxmox VM (KVM) for the Nethserver installation and use shared NFS folders into the host. In the past I used to install Nethserver as LXC container, but it have many annoying problems …

It seems to work fine, but still not tested in production, so if there are useful hints …

Thanks, P.

In fact that folder stores everythings, db, data, certs. If it is not reachable at any time, it will be a disaster.
