Beta Testing: WebGUI for rclone

2 - rclone rcd --rc-web-gui --cache-dir "E:\RCLONE_VFSCACHE2" ==> WORKS

I knew there was a way to do that, I just couldn't remember it! Can we do a bit of context sensitive help while dragging or something like that to tell the user about it?

Fantastic work guys, loving where the project is currently at. I'm currently using RClone browser, but I can see this replacing that soon :smiley:

I was wondering if the ability to cancel transfers and a way to check the size of files/directories is on the road map?

We have the API to support that now: https://rclone.org/rc/#job/stop to it is possible to cancel transfers.

As for directory size - how do you mean - like the output of rclone size?

Great so some kind of button to stop transfers shouldn't be a major issue.

Regarding directory size, yes that's the kind of thing. RClone browser has it set as a handy button which I often use to compare and check large transfers have successfully completed. I presume much like the ability to stop transfers this shouldn't be a huge ask to implement this?

My final question (and maybe this is something that can be done at command line level) is can the WebGUI be activated without actually launching a browser window? I have it set to run at Windows start up, but I only want to launch it form a browser shortcut.

Do you want to make issues about the stopping transfers and total size at https://github.com/rclone/rclone-webui-react

I guess you are asking for rclone not to open the browser window but start quietly? I guess we could have a flag for that.

Thanks Nick, I've added them as issues on Github

Is there a concept of queue? Right now every download starts right away, so one can end up with 100+ concurrent downloads, which results in really low download speed for each. Would be nice to be able to set a limit to the number of downloads, so the rest would wait in queue.

I tried providing transfers option directly (rclone rcd --rc-web-gui --transfers 1), but apparently it was a silly idea, as it didn't work. Perhaps, it should be provided via options/set?

Hey @negative0 great for this rclone browser.

I am unable to keep it alive, I am using ubuntu18 headless server. It works well from terminal (ssh) when I point it out to my vps address and port but as soon as I closed my terminal (ssh) it no longer works. I have set up vps to drive mount and I need browser to just login and transfer data when I want. I don't want any automate script to upload contents to my drive. I will be doing everything manually.

So I need two things. I need to keep my rclone browser alive forever so I can drop credentials and use when and where required. And also I dont find any file upload option from rclone browser. Though there are lot of options at backend I did not change any. Can you guide me,this is my first visit rclone browser

For the first question, you can use screen or tmux to make it running under their control, or you may write a systemd (or any other init you are using) service to run in the background. If you are only running it once, try nohup .

The second one, it seems to be still a feature request here https://github.com/rclone/rclone-webui-react/issues/32.

Very thankful to your reply. I don't want to be burden on you. But I am literally new to this linux world. I am using ubuntu18 under USER I have installed rclone. How am I suppose to prepare script which will run under systemd? Is it easy to write a script? What do I put commands in it?

Well that is an off-topic question...

I would suggest you to learn something about Linux first before any action. Then, search online for systemd service to get some idea. https://medium.com/@benmorel/creating-a-linux-service-with-systemd-611b5c8b91d6 it looks like a good tutorial.

Yes thanks again, I was doing same in mean time. Thanks for your help. I will try on my own with your said article.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what to do to see current rClone processes?

@Floyd, The web UI doesn't support that currently. You could create a feature request on https://github.com/rclone/rclone-webui-react. Thanks

I have a Raspberry Pi setup of Rclone to automatically do backups. I like the GUI idea alot, but it seems disconnected til the rclone.conf. Is that right? or is it due to the encryption feature of the config file.

In other words all configs have to manually be setup, from the GUI and is seperatede from the original rclone.conf file.

I realize this thread is very old but I've tried the other routes with no luck. Has anyone gotten the GUI to work from a Docker container? When you add a config it tries to open the auth window on localhost which doesn't work when done from a container. Just trying to figure out how to solve?

Make a new post, use the help/support template and happy to assist. This is an old thread...
