Create Share

To create a share within the Network File Storage's cluster, via the API, perform a POST request with the clusterId. The request automatically creates a share within the respective cluster.

Prerequisites: Only contract administrators, owners, and users with accessAndManageNFS privileges can create and manage clusters.

Endpoints

Use a region-specific endpoint to create a share: https://nfs.{region}.ionos.com/clusters/{clusterId}/shares

Request

Note: The following request contains sample values. Remember to replace them with the relevant information.

curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://nfs.de-txl.ionos.com/clusters/e69b22a5-8fee-56b1-b6fb-4a07e4205ead/shares' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"metadata": {},"properties": {"name":"example-export","quota":512,"clientGroups": [ {"ipNetworks": ["10.234.50.0/24" ],"hosts": ["10.234.62.123" ],"nfs": {"squash":"all-anonymous" } } ] }}'
