Cluster mode for rclone rcd when running in kubernetes or docker compose

This feature request is to address the specific issue described in this post: When deploying rclone rcd to kubernetes cluster, the internal load balancer routes the http requests to one of the many available pods. This works fine when queuing up jobs, but when checking for job status using http requests if the request is routed to a pod that's not handing the jobid in question , we get an error. Feature Request Add a "cluster mode" for rcd where various rcd instances on a network are made …

There's an issue with running multiple load balanced instances of rclone rcd.

Every rcd instances tracks it's own jobIDs and these are just incrementing integers. So potentially we can have a conflict when two jobs have same IDs on different rcd instances, and our job status check requests cross connects.

using guids or some hash for jobid will fix this issue and will be a step towards clustered mode in HA

I don't think that would be too difficult.

Would you like to take out a support contract and I could do the work as part of it?
