rclone mount -vvv --allow-other --allow-non-empty gcache: /home/user/gcache

Do you have a service which mounts it on reboot or a cron job? Without it, it won’t be automatically mounted.

no i don’t
how can i do this ?

start reading about systemd services.
Simply read the systemd google hits

i did google it before posting here and it is not easy from me i have never used Linux before only windows

There is a basic systemd file on the rclone wiki which may help.

anything that says ChangeME, make it so it reflects your own settings on your server.

make sure you have apt-get install fuse -y installed
