What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to copy from Google Drive crypt to my Dropbox crypt folder but I am getting this error: Failed to create file system for "dboxcrypt:crypt": can't point crypt remote at itself - check the value of the remote setting

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

rclone v1.62.2

os/version: almalinux 8.8 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64 (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.20.2
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

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

Google Drive and Dropbox

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

/usr/bin/rclone copy gdrive2:crypt dboxcrypt:crypt --max-transfer=3000G --cutoff-mode=soft --log-file /opt/docker/data/rclone/transfertodbox.log -v --config /opt/docker/data/rclone/rclone.conf

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Can anybody help me and explain to me why I am getting the error and how I could fix it ?

replace it with:

[dboxcrypt]
type = crypt
remote = dbox:crypt
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = REDACTED
password2 = REDACTED

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 9:06am

In addition I would recommend to add

filename_encoding = base32768

to dropbox crypt section.

Also like for gdrive please create your own client_id/secret and recreate dbox remote with them.

[dbox]
type = dropbox
client_id = REDACTED
client_secret = REDACTED
token = REDACTED

[dboxcrypt]
type = crypt
remote = dbox:crypt
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = REDACTED
password2 = REDACTED
filename_encoding = base32768

Thank you very much for the help was able to get it working.

Now I am having an issue when trying to mount dropbox.
This is my mount command:

/opt/bin/rclone mount dboxcrypt:Mulimedia /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/DBox --allow-other --allow-non-empty --dir-cache-time 9999h --log-level INFO --log-file /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/rclone.log --poll-interval 10s --umask 002 --rc --rc-addr 192.168.1.200:5574 --rc-no-auth --cache-dir /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/cache --tpslimit 24 --default-time 2023-01-01 --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 500G --vfs-cache-max-age 336h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 5m --vfs-read-ahead 2G --config /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/rclone.conf

This is the error I am getting:

2023/07/26 16:28:25 INFO  : Starting transaction limiter: max 24 transactions/s with burst 1
2023/07/26 16:28:25 NOTICE: Serving remote control on http://192.168.1.200:5574/

2023/07/26 16:28:26 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exec: "fusermount3": executable file not found in $PATH

I am on my QNAP NAS.

Any suggestions what the issue might be and how I could fix it?

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 2:57pm

looks like for the start you are missing fuse - you have to install it on your system. I am not sure of QNAP specifics - Google it

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 3:17pm

and one more note:

your copy command is wrong. With your setup is should be:

rclone copy gcrypt2: dboxcrypt:

+ rest of your flags

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 3:30pm

And re your mount command - I would change it to:

/opt/bin/rclone mount dboxcrypt:Mulimedia /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/DBox --allow-other --allow-non-empty --dir-cache-time 9999h --log-level INFO --log-file /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/rclone.log --umask 002 --rc --rc-addr 192.168.1.200:5574 --rc-no-auth --cache-dir /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/cache --tpslimit 12 --tpslimit-burst 0 --default-time 2023-01-01 --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 500G --vfs-cache-max-age 9999h --config /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/rclone/rclone.conf

Thank you for this will change it!

I have just installed fuse3 now I am getting this error:

2023/07/26 21:23:15 mount helper error: fusermount3: failed to execute /opt/bin/mount: No such file or directory
2023/07/26 21:23:15 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1

Any idea how this can be fixed ?

Thank you for all the help. Really appreciate it!

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 8:07pm

does this directory exist?

kapitainsky · July 26, 2023, 8:12pm

Stop using mega complex commands before you have basics working (and they are not). What is the point of all your flags when nothing works? You try to bite off more than you can chew.

Do not mix things.

you say you run:

/opt/bin/rclone mount dboxcrypt:Mulimedia /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/DBox + all flags

and then you have an error:

/opt/bin/mount: No such file or directory

Nobody can see your screen. You want help follow simple steps and document them:)

so run:

/opt/bin/rclone mount dboxcrypt:Mulimedia /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/DBox -vv

and post ALL output here. Not few lines you think are important. Then maybe somebody can see what the issue is. And there are some very rclone wise people around:)
