Help starting Rclone mount as Windows Service

medic17 · October 5, 2024, 8:46pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to run Rclone mount at system startup. Only one user on the system. When running New-Service from the docs I get the following error New-Service: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'mount'.

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

rclone v1.68.1

os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 10.0.22631.4249 (x86_64)
os/type: windows
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.23.1
go/linking: static
go/tags: cmount

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

AWS S3

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

New-Service -Name Rclone -BinaryPathName "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Rclone.Rclone_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\rclone-v1.68.1-windows-amd64\rclone.exe mount s3:BUCKET S: --network-mode --vfs-cache-mode full"

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

[s3]
type = s3
provider = AWS
access_key_id = XXX
secret_access_key = XXX
region = il-central-1
location_constraint = il-central-1

[test]
type = s3
provider = AWS
env_auth = true

welcome to the forum,

well, in the example, the fullpath of the config file is specified, the fullpath of the log file is specifed.

make sure the command works on the command line.
use a debug log, --log-level=DEBUG

The command itself works as expected. I just can't set it up as a Windows Service due to the error above.

When the command is run directly from the terminal with the debug level you asked for this is the output:

This one is a classic

I should have used an Admin session instead of gsudo.
