How can I add my own endpoints?

Help and Support
#1

Is there an API that you can use in order to let rclone manage your own endpoint? I mean rclone is amazing already but what if you wanted to write your own custom endpoint, how would you do that?

#2

What do you mean by 'your own endpoint'? You'd have to pick one of the remotes that rclone currently supports and you can use remote control to interact with rclone:

#3

Of course, I'm asking how do you develop a remote.

#4

I would think you'd learn some GO and you can check out:

I'm sure @ncw could add some more verbiage but from a non developer point of you, that's how I would start.

#5

are there docs on this?

#6

Here are the steps you need to take to write a new backend

I recommend reading the whole CONTRIBUTING doc if you are planning to make a new backend, but those are the specific steps.

The integration tests are really important - they are the thing that keeps rclone reliable!
