Do we have any way to encrypt/decrypt config file content without using interactive mode?

[hegdemahendra (Mahendra Hegde)]

Hello Experts,

I am using shell script to install Rclone and run it in RCD mode.
Now I need to encrypt config file as it will contain few remotes passwords.

From below post I saw the 'autoexpect/expect' option which we can use to achive in shell script.
But curious to know if there is any latest direct way to achieve this without writing 'expect' script for interactive remote config encryption?

Possible to set a password for the rclone config file without using rclone config (2)?

Yep, will do that. ...will also look into using those environment variables, if I can make sure they are only valid in the RCLONE process and can not be read from the "outside".

Thanks,
MH

hi,
that autoexpect script was my creation.

as far as i know, rclone cannot encrypt a config file.
