Google Drive - I cannot complete configuration

Help and Support
1

Hello,

I an trying to configure rclone on a NAS Zyxel NSA325v2 with Google drive but when I enter the verification code I get this error:

Failed to configure token: failed to get token: Post https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token: x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided

I am missing a step? or doing something wrong?

This are the config steps:

No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> xxxxxxx
Type of storage to configure.
Storage> 7
Google Application Client Id - leave blank normally.
client_id>
Google Application Client Secret - leave blank normally.
client_secret>
Remote config
Use auto config?

  • Say Y if not sure
  • Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine or Y didn’t work
    y) Yes
    n) No
    y/n> n

Hello,
sorry to bother You, your suggestion helped me make rclone working fine (many thanks for that), but after some days I found out that after rebooting the NSA (Zyxel 325v2) the rcone configuration disappears, and also the certificates on SSL disappear.

After rebooting I received these errors:
Failed to load config file “/root/.rclone.conf” - using defaults: open /root/.rclone.conf: no such file or directory
Failed to create file system for “GoogleAT:Antonio”: didn’t find section in config file

Then if I repeat the config and if a download the certs, rclone works perfectly, but after some days and a reboot of the NAS, the errors come up again because the configuration and certs are no longer there. It seems that those files are deleted in some way, or lost…

I understand that this could not be a problem related directly to rclone, but please do You have any idea how to make config and certs permanent?

Thanks
Bye

It might be that the NAS boots off a RAM disk, so these bits of the file system aren’t persistent.

There will be bits which are persistent - post the output of mount run on the NAS.

This the output of mount:

That does look like / and therefore /root is part of the initial ram disk (the rootfs). Sounds like you want to store the config file in one of the directories that is mounted on /dev/md0.

It might be better if you ask for help from someone who knows more about these NAS - maybe http://forum.nas-central.org/ ?

Hey tonytogna,

While I can’t help with the SSL certs being lost on reboot (as they’re stored in the RAMdisk) I did manage to get around the issues of the config files default location (depending on OS).

By appending ‘–config filename’ to the end of any command (eg rclone config --config .rclone.conf) you can tell it where to store the config file and where to read it back from when copying/syncing etc.

For example if you wish to store the config in the same directory you have rclone itself stored use

rclone config --config .rclone.conf

Or another filename if you do not wish to use .rclone.conf, then whenever you run your rclone commands they should always have --config .rclone.conf added to them

example:

rclone config --config .rclone.conf
rclone copy GoogleAT:Antonio localdir --config .rclone.conf

This however assumes that you have downloaded and are running rclone from a directory on the NAS array itself, and that you’re not downloading rclone every time you use it because it disappears with the config on reboot.

I hope that helps :slight_smile:

Thank You very much.

Your tip was good, I managed to store the config where it is persistent.

I also fixed the problem with the SSL certificates, thanks to Mijzelf of forum.nas-central.org, who suggested me to download the certs to a persistent folder and to create a script on ffp start which creates a synmbolic link on the volatile space where it is needed.

Bye
