Hi @lameventanas

The nfstestserver job is really just for running simple tests to make sure that you have the NFS capabilities up and running. You don't need it in order to connect your apps to NFS shares. For that reason, we didn't bother to package up the nfs kernel server debian packages into the bosh release, like we do with our other bosh jobs. Also for that reason, we are not likely to prioritize this issue.

If you don't already have some available NFS server that you can connect to, I'd recommend setting up a server on a VM manually, as with these instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

You'd have to fiddle with the proxy settings for apt if you want to apt install the requisite packages, (https://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/linux/administration-linux/how-to-set-the-proxy-for-apt-for-ubuntu-18-04/) or else wget the debian packages and then install them with dpkg -i

Alternately, I suppose you could hack the nfstestserver job to inject the proxy settings into the apt configuration file, but again that will only get you a simple test server with fixed shares that isn't really meant for production.
