NFS provisioners do assume you already have an NFS server; the provisioner just creates NFS PVs and binds them to PVCs. Is there something else you’re looking for?
If you are looking at something to host the NFS service itself, that’s beyond the scope of what a NFS-backed CSI provider would handle.

I'm trying to figure out how to create a dynamic provisioner for NFS. We have an NFS server outside the cluster. The docs here https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/manage-clusters/create[…]-persistent-storage/dynamically-provision-new-storage Step 1.6 state to configure the Provisioner from the dropdown list. NFS isn't in the drop down.
In this document about NFS Storage (https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/manage-clusters/provisioning-storage-examples/nfs-storage), the note at the top states that the page explains how to set up an NFS server, and that if you already have an NFS server to visit "Adding Storage", which takes me here: https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/manage-clusters/create-kubernetes-persistent-storage part way down that page is a "Provisioning Storage Examples" section which has links to NFS, vSphere, and Amazon's EBS. That NFS page takes me right back to the NFS page about setting up a server.
Oh, I guess I should add that when going to the StorageClass setting page, NFS isn't listedan option.

You appear to be on the local cluster? Most of the docs are going to be for configuring clusters managed by rancher. You’re not intended to deploy additional stuff to the local cluster, that is for rancher only.

This is just a test setup.
Here's a downstream cluster with the same StorageClass options. I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong in the Rancher UI, or if I'm just supposed to follow the generic nfs provisioner steps for any regular cluster.

I suspect that the docs have gotten stale. Let me ask what the current state of that is. I suspect you’re probably best off deploying the nfs provisioner I linked above.
