the gdrive mounted folder is /home/iragoiko/gdrive
I run docker as iragoiko. Even if I am member of sudo, iragoiko, docker
I think the best will be that mount directory belongs to iragoiko
What is the function of the flag -allow-other?
This is a permision issue which I am not able to sort out with the service file...
If I run service as iragoiko with "sudo service rclone start" it works fine
If I run mount command as iragoiko also works fine.
But with the service with systemctl no way
I am not able to mount again

i think you need to add a trailing slash

If I move the service file from /etc/systemd/system
to => /home/iragoiko/.config/systemd/system
should be OK? is that the correct path for user service file?
The official wiki defines these paths which I think they are not correct. I do not see any example of rclone service installed in the following paths as defined wiki.
/etc/systemd/user/rclone@.service
or ~/.config/systemd/user/rclone@.service
Wiki is correct?
Maybe completely off the mark here, but do have user_allow_other
in your fuse.conf file?
the conf file is usually in /etc/fuse.conf
Thanks for your answer. user_allow_other
was already active on fuse.conf
# /etc/fuse.conf - Configuration file for Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)
# Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
# The default is 1000.
#mount_max = 1000
# Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options.
user_allow_other
if I put rclone.service file in /home/iragoiko/.config/systemd/system
systemctl command can not find:
Failed to enable unit: Unit file rclone.service does not exist.
The wiki information is not correct.
i agree this is confusing.
wiki -> /etc/systemd/user
@Animosity022 -> not clear exactly where to place the rclone.service file?
I don't use dockers myself as my main gripe is that add complexity and little value for this type of setup.
I use systemd as a system file and it's in /etc/systemd/system
If you use it as a user, you can place it in a bunch of spots.
-
/usr/lib/systemd/user/
where units provided by installed packages belong. -
~/.local/share/systemd/user/
where units of packages that have been installed in the home directory belong. -
/etc/systemd/user/
where system-wide user units are placed by the system administrator. -
~/.config/systemd/user/
where the user puts their own units.
So it depends on your level of access to the server.
finally found the mistake. I have to be able to run everything as iragoiko (rclone config, docker all is as iragoiko) and did not have permisions to rclone service /cache directory as iragoiko. I moved cache to to /home/iragoiko/... and now service is working fine.
Now i have to delay my docker service or container startup.
Thanks for your support @asdffdsa
good, we are both learning from our own mistakes, step by step
Yes, at least I do
Do you think it will be possible to mount SAMBA share with this rclone mount at fstab?
i have shared a rclone mount over samba
you can read about it here
*Solved* Is it possible to access my Rclone mount as a Samba share?

The problem is that /home/iragoiko/rclone/rclone.log
log file keeps increasing. In 2-3 days its size is 25 gb, in one week 50gb....
Is that normal? how can I limit this?
Change that to INFO as you don't need to run normally on debug.
since yesterday the log file size is only 1,5 mb. Looks good
