What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I wonder how to hide the user and password on a rclone mount with --rc
i can see the user and password on htop

image

have any way to hide this information from other users on the same server?

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

rclone v1.57.0

  • os/kernel: 4.19.0-18-amd64 (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

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

--log-level INFO \
--rc \
--rc-addr :5566 \
--rc-user=1234 \
--rc-pass=1234

Make a htpasswd file and pass the location with the --rc-htpasswd flag.

Debian has the htpasswd tool for making the right kinds of file. There is an example here: rclone serve http
