Need support with rclone service file

iragoiko · October 24, 2020, 5:36pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to run a service which automatically mounts my gdrive

What is your rclone version (output from `rclone version`)

v1.53.1

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Debian 10

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

Google drive

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

I mount the gdrive with the following command:
rclone mount gdrive: /home/iragoiko/gdrive --allow-other --dir-cache-time 96h --vfs-cache-max-age 48h --vfs-read-chunk-size 20M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 1G --buffer-size 10M --umask 002 --log-file /home/iragoiko/rclone.log

Now I want to create a service, this is my rclone.service file:

Description=rclone

[Service]
User=iragoiko
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gdrive: /home/iragoiko/gdrive --allow-other --dir-cache-time 96h --vfs-cache-max-age 48h --vfs-read-chunk-size 20M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 1G --buffer-size 10M --umask 002 --log-file /home/iragoiko/rclone.log
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = 4149693**********************************divuc.apps.googleuserconten$
client_secret = dMgoL1X***************NOlj4
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"ya29.A0AfH6SM****************************************ezpSaY4Zx1t$

A log from the command with the `-vv` flag

hi, did you do this?
systemctl daemon-reload

iragoiko · October 24, 2020, 5:49pm

just did it.

Looks like it is working, thanks for your support @asdffdsa .
For my understanding, will this service mount at reboot automatically before plex docker is running?

asdffdsa · October 24, 2020, 6:08pm

glad to help.

i think you need to run this to get systemd to start a service at boot time.
sudo systemctl enable rclone.service

iragoiko · October 24, 2020, 6:16pm

I type that command but after reboot this is the status:

i know that i shared this link with you, in this post or the other post
this will explain what to do.

i thought you were using joy_drive:

iragoiko · October 24, 2020, 8:57pm

What does it mean?

asdffdsa · October 24, 2020, 8:59pm

rclone cannot find that remote name of gdrive:
you must use a name from rclone listremotes

This is mi rclone config
