How to create a repository for an NFS share

Question

Hi. I am just learning the Lifecycle controller. We wish to use it to update our server firmware. Many of our system do not have internet access, so we would like to use the NFS feature of the Lifecycle controller. However we cannot figure out how to use Repository Manager to build or populate an NFS share. I am frankly overwhelmed with documentation on it, but cannot seem to find out how to do that. Any help is very welcome.

Repository manager cannot create a repository to an NFS share.

Please create a custom repository for the machines that you use.

Export the repository to local file system.

Copy this repository to the NFS location in to your data center.

and then access the NFS share from LC.

Thanks
