Blomp appears empty

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Adding blomp

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.70.3

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Education 22H2 22H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19045.6456 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.24.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using?

Blomp

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

I tried it using the graphical interface

user, password, auth = https://authenticate.ain.net

I also tried editing the config file directly

[blomp]
type = swift
user = mymail
key = my password
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
auth_version = 2
tenant = storage
endpoint_type = public

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[blomp]
type = swift
user = XXX
key = XXX
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
auth_version = 2
tenant = storage
endpoint_type = public

Double check the config for sensitive info before posting publicly

Paste config here

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

I didn't do it from the terminal
  1. hello
  2. rclone selfupdate
  3. rclone config delete blomp:
  4. rclone config to create the remote again, do not edit the config file directly.
  5. rclone lsd blomp: -vv and post the full output

using cmd

rclone lsd blomp: -vv

using gui (and rclone lsd blomp: -vv in cmd at the end)
rclone lsd blomp: -vv

rclone.conf (create by program)

[BlompTest] // cmd
type = swift
user = myMail
key = myPassoword
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
user_id = MyUser
domain = myMail

[BlompTest2] // webgui
type = swift
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
key = myPassword
user = myMail

that "didnt find section in config file (blomp)" usually means the remote name in the gui and the one you typed in cmd dont match, or the gui never wrote the config. in my experience after rclone config, run rclone listremotes and use whatever name actually shows up (case sensitive). your redacted config shows BlompTest / BlompTest2 not blomp, so try rclone lsd BlompTest: -vv. also blomp is just swift under the hood so if the remote exists but lists empty, double check the auth url / tenant from blomp docs, ive fat fingered that before and gotten a quiet empty listing.

i believe i already soved this issue in Rclone blomp problem
i understand the confusion, as we need to include the email address as part of the URL.

[blomp_remote]
type = swift
user = user@domain.com
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net

I ran rclone lsd BlompTest: -vv and got

I had seen that discussion, and I would have posted there if it hadn't been closed.

Yes, I made two attempts. But I see that in your case, one is “blomp” and the other is “blomp_remote.” Are these two separate attempts, or is one required for the other?

Note: By “myemail,” I mean the full domain address.

Before we talk about aliases, I'd like to resolve this issue.

I tried the configuration shown in the other thread again, even though I was told not to edit the config file manually.

This time I've got CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "blomp-swift3:": HTTP Error: 404: 404 Not Found. And when you open it from here, it's obviously empty.

[blomp-swift3]
type = swift
user = email@example.com
key = PASSWORD
auth = https://authenticate.blomp.com
tenant = storage
auth_version = 2
no_chunk = true

need to do that.
rclone lsd BlompTest:email@example.com -vv

that is explained in the topic i shared and it is explained in the documentation at blomp.com


the alias remote is optional, just makes using rclone syntax a bit easier use.
in my example, both of these command are equivalent.

  • rclone lsd blomp:
  • rclone lsd blomp_remote:user@domain.com

i posted a working remote. make sure your remote looks the same.

  1. my remote has tenant, your remote does not
  2. my remote has user, your remote has user and user_id
  3. my remote does not have domain, your remote does
rclone config redacted blomp_remote:
[blomp_remote]
type = swift
user = XXX
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
key = XXX
tenant = XXX
auth_version = 2

and please no more teeny, tiny hard to read screenshot snippets.
post just the text into for forum.

You can click on the screenshots to enlarge them. However, since it causes problems, I've decided to remove them.
True. Mine is missing some parts. At this point, since I've already failed 1,000 times following other instructions, please write me a foolproof guide on how to add a blomp in the easiest way possible. Either the GUI or the terminal is fine at this point.

i believe i already shared more than enough information, spanning two topics.

what is lacking with blomp's official rclone documentation?

I've already followed your instructions and uploaded my errors. So I assume that blomp doesn't work with rclone.

You keep missing steps that @asdffdsa points out as he already shared it works with an above post. If you can get your remote configurated correctly, it worsk fine.

@AP2024, your assumption is wrong, as i have shown multiple times, in multiple topics
to be honest, you are not following my advice.

blomp website has detailed instructions about rclone.
perhaps you should contact blomp tech support
