NFS Sharepoint on OS X Server for Mounting Dreambox SAT-Box, how?

Hallo

I want to use my OS X 10.9 Server for setting up a NFS Sharepoint that need to be mounted with the Linux Based Satellite Receiver named "Dreambox"

It seem this can't be handled by the GUI of the Server.app

Is their a Manual Around how to do this? I haven't found anything. I supposed OS X Server (based on BSD Unix) will support NFS over maybe the CLI?

Who is able to help me?

Regards

There's nothing obvious that's true but if you start the NetInstall Service this will start the nfs server daemon. To verify nfs is running launch Terminal and issue:

sudo serveradmin status nfs

Yes. On the web:

And on any Mac key in man nfsd or man mount_nfs when in Terminal.
