Hi guys,
Edit: okay, i solved my questions, a lot of text, if someone could point out the best practices for it, you're more than welcome to enlighten me Looks like i can't get it to work with the Docker Image, i'm not sure why.
I started using Rclone for Gdrive mounts and so far so good, works fine, with examples i was able to get it to work the way i want. (I have basic linux understanding)
Short version: I have /home/pi/dir1, /home/pi/dir2, /home/pi/dir3 and would like to use rclone union to have all the data in /home/dirs but all 4 directories should be read only, as i only want to "consume" from them and not write to /home/dirs.
(The directories are only examples)
Longer version: I'm using the mumiehub/rclone-mount docker image to mount my gdrive to the system. This works fine. As i have two volumes on the NAS (Synology with extentionbay) i would like to union a few directories in a single one. I don't need it for sync between directories or such, i would only like to have /home/dirs to point Emby to it. All the other stuff with writing in the directories shall remain as already setup (meaning no matter in which of the 3 directories i write, it should just show up in /home/dirs)
When i follow the example here (https://rclone.org/union/) on my pi as test and then do "rclone mount remote: /home/pi/dirs" i see the three directories. Config:
[Series]
type = union
remotes = /home/pi/dir1 home/pi/dir2 home/pi/dir3
So far so good. But now if i copy something in /home/pi/dir1 i don't see it in /home/pi/dirs
That if i copy something in /home/pi/dirs it will get written in /home/pi/dir3 i understand as it takes the last directory as writeable.
How can i set it up properly that, either all 4 directories are read only (so i can just stream/open stuff from there) or how do i make sure that the first three directories are read only (in my understanding i could add a /home/pi/dir4 as dummy in case something gets written in /home/pi/dirs.
What would be the proper way to set this up so i don't kill my data and /home/pi/dirs shows the new files that are getting copied in the dir1 etc?
Thanks in advance for helping the noob
Edit: Okay just mounting it with --read-only did the trick.
Also a file i copied a while ago into dir1 showed up. So i guess the remaining question would be, what parameter is responsible for a quicker "refresh" of /home/pi/dirs? Subedit: --dir-cache-time duration and --poll-interval duration is what i'm looking for (default 5min and 1min)
