Encrypted gdrive remote not showing up

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 1:07pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to setup an encrypted gdrive remote, service appears to be running but nothing shows up in the local directory that I am using as the mount point.

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

rclone v1.64.0

os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 5.15.0-1040-oracle (aarch64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)
go/version: go1.21.1
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

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

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

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

Apologies but I am not sure how to set up logging in the service file.

First try to make it work from cmd:

rclone mount gcrypt: /home/ubuntu/media --allow-other -vv

does it work? if not please post its output.

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 1:27pm

deleting my previous reply as I figure out one piece and now have another. I removed my service file as it was creating problems with a manual attempt to mount. Now I'm getting a fuser error:

OK. I went at uncommented user_allow_other in fuse.conf and that seems to have made SOME progress. Now when I run the command, it seems to mount but it hangs here and just sits:

It looks like it works now.

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 3:53pm

When I run it with --daemon so I can actually poke around the headless server, it won't let me enter the directory.

cd /home/ubuntu/media

freezes and hangs. Can't even ctrl-x or ctrl-c out of it, have to close the SHH program entirely.

I stopped the service, now that directory is 100% unresponsive. Can't even delete it as I get the 'device busy or in use" error.

kapitainsky · September 12, 2023, 3:55pm

It means you have some old mount active:

pkill rclone

then check if no more rclone running:

ps -ef | grep rclone

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 3:59pm

Doesn't seem to be killing the process.

kapitainsky · September 12, 2023, 4:01pm

sudo kill -9 1425

or

sudo pkill rclone

kapitainsky · September 12, 2023, 4:04pm

And do not use --daemon until things are working.

Open another SSH session or use tmux or screen.

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 4:36pm

Hi again, I feel like I'm getting there thanks to your help. I am mounting the encrypted mount without errors but when i open a new SSH window and check the directory, nothing is there.

If I mount the NON-encrypted version of this mount 'gdrive' it works just fine.

kapitainsky · September 12, 2023, 4:45pm

what is your crypt mount command?

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 9:23pm

rclone mount gdrive: /home/ubuntu/media --allow-other -vv

the mount works, when i go into the /home/ubuntu/media directory I see the contents of my google drive

rclone mount gcrypt: /home/ubuntu/media --allow-other -vv

the mount APPEARS to work, I get all this:



ubuntu@jellyfin-gdrive-optimized:~$ rclone mount gcrypt: /home/ubuntu/media --allow-other -vv
2023/09/12 21:22:36 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.64.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "mount" "gcrypt:" "/home/ubuntu/media" "--allow-other" "-vv"]

2023/09/12 21:22:36 DEBUG : : >Root: node=/, err=<nil>

But when I go into the /home/ubuntu/media directory nothing is there.

kapitainsky · September 12, 2023, 9:46pm

and what you see when you run:

rclone ls gcrypt:

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 9:59pm

Failed to ls: directory not found

blackjack4494 · September 12, 2023, 10:52pm

mediacrypt folder exists?

asdffdsa · September 12, 2023, 11:05pm

based on the remote config, i find that path strange?
as if rclone is combining gdrive: from the remote and /home/ubuntu/media from local.

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 11:12pm

I don't think so, what would create that directory?

eqpaisley · September 12, 2023, 11:13pm

do I need to manually create a directory for the encrypted mount? I created the gdrive remote. I created the gcrypt to place the gdrive remote at /home/ubuntu/media.

If I just mount gdrive it works great. But if I unmount and kill that process and try again with gcrypt, I get nothing

asdffdsa · September 12, 2023, 11:29pm

maybe, not 100% sure about gdrive. maybe gdrive will create it on the fly.
fwiw, i always pre-create

well, have you copied any files into the gcrypt: or is it supported to be empty at this point?

please, let's forget about mount, need to get simple commands working.
can you post output of these commands, redact as needed.

rclone ls gdrive:mediacrypt -vv
rclone ls gcrypt: -vv

and based on that might need to copy a file into the crypt

rclone mkdir gdrive:mediacrypt -v
rclone touch gcrypt:file.ext -v
rclone ls gcrypt: -vv
