You might look at webdav instead, which has actual existing library implementations (unlike NFSv4), supports user/pass auth (in some cases you don't want wide-open services on loopback) and is based on HTTP; that would make the whole thing easier. Various projects offer a webdav combat layer, see cryptomator for one example: https://docs.cryptomator.org/en/latest/desktop/vault-mounting/ https://docs.cryptomator.org/en/latest/desktop/vault-mountin...
I went down the NFS road long ago - I somewhat (??) remember that coaxing macOS to mount_nfs on loopback is actually a PITA (I remember having to activate 127.0.0.* and mount 127.0.0.2).
- skissane 4y agoI remember, around 10 years ago, mucking around with WebDAV, and discovering many WebDAV clients were extremely crapulent. Especially on Windows. Maybe, some years later, Windows' WebDAV client has improved. And I can't remember whether macOS WebDAV was better or not.

- EdSchouten 4y agoFor Buildbarn I need to provide a writable file system that acts in a POSIX compliant way. I'm not convinced WebDAV could provide that.
- justsomeadvice0 4y agoFair point, agreed I doubt mount_webdav ends up posix compliant.
