My bad, I had a nonexistent -v flag set on nfsd
making it fail to start. Removing the flag and rebooting
with the below line in the vm's fstab (added nolock)
fixed the issue !
On to install jellyfin.

I am stuck at trying to mount the /var/www/media/.jellyfin

Here is my configuration:
srv$ cat /etc/exports

/var/www/media/.jellyfin -maproot=media -network=100.64.1
-mask=255.255.255.0
fstab line in the Alpine virtual machine:
100.64.1.2:/var/www/media/.jellyfin /home/media/jellyfin nfs
rw,_netdev,vers=3 0 0
Any clue ?
PS these are the tutorials I am following:

looking for a PDP-11
i do something similar with a local jellyfin vm on vmm (on ubuntu
not
alpine
but it probably shouldnt matter).
/etc/fstab on vm:
server:/Media /Media nfs soft,intr,tcp 0 1
/etc/exports on the host looks like yours.
Thanks. That's strange, I've tried various options but the
same error remains. It seemms to be related to a different
NFS version on the client vs the server ? That's why I use
vers=3, but changing it to 2 or 4 doesn't help.
PS is it normal to have a fs_passno field of 1 for a network
share ? In your fstab.
Cheers

looking for a PDP-11
I had to add nolock,vers=3
Are you on Alpine on the vm ?
I just added the nolock option to the vm, nothing changes ...
Here's my current fstab line:
100.64.1.2:/var/www/media/.jellyfin /home/media/jellyfin nfs
rw,_netdev,nolock,vers=3,soft,intr 0 1
I've tried with SFTP / sshfs-fuse instead.
Weird thing is that SSHFS mounting of the main repertory
/var/www/media returns success but displays an empty folder.
Perhaps because I need to follow the FAQ again to have the
vm's network in bridge mode.
