Hi everyone !
Right now I can’t decide wich one is the most versatile and fit my personal needs, so I’m looking into your personal experience with each one of them, if you mind sharing your experience.
It’s mostly for secure shared volumes containing ebooks and media storage/files on my home network. Adding some security into the mix even tough I actually don’t need it (mostly for learning process).
More precisely how difficult is the NFS configuration with kerberos? Is it actually useful? Never used kerberos and have no idea how it works, so it’s a very much new tech on my side.
I would really apreciate some indepth personal experience and why you would considere one over another !
Thank you !
-
NFS : historically insecure by default. Don’t know about Kerberos making it secure but Kerberos does not look easy to configure.
-
sshfs : probably most easy to setup. Can be confusing with ownership and permissions sometimes.
-
Samba : solid but has a learning curve, even for a simple setup. For example, for a standalone Samba server omitting the Active Directory part, you need to know that in order to create a Samba user you must first have created a local user with the same username.

sshfs : probably most easy to setup. Can be confusing with ownership and permissions sometimes.
And the worst option if you have Windows clients.
I am wondering if someone can recommend any libre sshfs client for windows7+ preferably that could be installed as a portable app ?
