What is the best way to mount and acd mountpoint at at boot?
I’m using Ubuntu
I already tried to put the following in crontab -e, but that doesn’t seem to work. If I then use the same command in ssh then plex can connect to the mountpoint again
@reboot sleep 20; rclone mount eacd: /home/root/acd/encrypted --allow-other --no-modtime --dir-cache-time=2m --max-read-ahead 200M --transfers 20 --checkers 40 &
That doesn’t work because rclone mount runs in the foreground.
That is something I should fix, unfortunately it isn’t straight forward in go (unlike C) due to its massive use of threading.
In the mean time the modern thing would be to write a systemd unit script and run it under that
Here is a good resource: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/15348/writing-basic-systemd-service-files
I spawn a screen which runs rclone:
screen -dmS rclone /$PATHTORCLONE$/rclone mount --allow-other mymount:MyFolder /$PATHTOMYMOUNTLOCATION$/
my crontab -e contains:
@reboot /$PATHTOMY$/startup.sh
My startup.sh file contains a bunch of necessary startup commands including mounting with rclone, this has worked consistently for me.
