Mount cmd for web server

Help and Support
#14

Thank you so much, so my new cmd only for server where i dont have to upload anything on remote and only have to view from remote is below, plz take a look and guide me further if necessary,

rclone serve http Dropbox: /www/wwwroot/videos/box --daemon --allow-other --dir-cache-time 5000h --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 150h --vfs-cache-max-size 300G --cache-dir /www/wwwroot/cache --log-file /www/wwwroot/rclone.log

Thanks a lot

That serves the files over http directly. You'd need to remove --daemon and --allow-other since these are mount only, but otherwise that looks fine

rclone serve http Dropbox: --dir-cache-time 5000h --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 150h --vfs-cache-max-size 300G --cache-dir /www/wwwroot/cache --log-file /www/wwwroot/rclone.log

That will serve the files on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ - proxy this with your webserver, or use it directly.

using same cmd

rclone serve http Dropbox:/www/wwwroot/videos/box --dir-cache-time 5000h --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 150h --vfs-cache-max-size 300G --cache-dir /www/wwwroot/cache --log-file /www/wwwroot/rclone.log

Thanks

#18

now facing another issue, using rclone serve http i cannot open a php file from Dropbox, with mount cmd its working perfect, example domain.com/file.php
any clue?
Thanks

#19

Are you trying to run PHP files from Dropbox?

I think you will need a mount for that as serve http will just send the PHP files not run them.

rClone Mount Vs Http Serve
#20

that is only a player file in php extension, trying to run videos in my own player, is there any other way to play videos in my own player using serve http?
Thanks

#21

If you serve the videos with the right mime type, then the browser should just play them. That is what I see anyway.

What type of videos?

#22

Videos are mp4 type but i want to play them inside my own player,
server http cmd close when i close terminal and we cannot use daemon with server http, so i need to run cmd inside screen or tmux etc ?
you think is it possible to use http password with rclone and a external hosted player?
Thanks

#23

rclone serve http won't run PHP files. However if you can make your player in javascript that will work fine.

screen, tmux or use systemd to run it as a system service.

I don't know!

#24

finally able to play video from serve httpwith my own player
its good enough, but question is how to prevent user to browse my dropbox?
https://d.bollyfun.net/silip.html?v=test
if user only open domain it hit on my dropbox and use can see every thing, is there any way to prohibited this?
Thanks

#25

Make sure all the video files are in a subdirectory and serve that - then the user will only be able to browse the video files.

If you don't want the user to browse at all then disable that by setting a new template like this

echo "Browsing disabled" > templatefile
rclone -vv serve http --template templatefile dropbox:Video
#26

where i have to add this line?
Thanks

#27
  1. run that command on the command line.
    it will create a new file named templatefile
  2. add --template templatefile to your rclone serve http command,.
