What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have rclone running successfully on a number of different machines / operating systems and I decided to pop it on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu to use as a second Plex server.
It's been a couple of years since I set up an rclone mount on a Linux machine and I'm having problems getting my mount to start at boot.
This is the script I've setup:
Description=RClone Service
[Service]
Type=notify
Environment=RCLONE_CONFIG=//home/craftyclown/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount "RichFlixCrypt:/Encrypted/" /home/craftyclown/Skull \
--allow-other \
--bind replaced.ddns.net \
--buffer-size 256M \
--dir-cache-time 72h \
--drive-chunk-size 32M \
--log-level INFO \
--log-file /home/craftyclown/logs/rclone.log \
--umask 002 \
--vfs-read-chunk-size 128M \
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off \
--tpslimit 3
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -uz /home/craftyclown/Skull
Restart=on-failure
User=craftyclown
Group=craftyclown
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
It's the same script (except for paths and binding address) that I use on my other server, so I'm not sure why it isn't working.
If I just run the line rclone mount "RichFlixCrypt:/Encrypted/" /home/craftyclown/Skull \ It works, so I think Rclone is working okay.
If I run systemctl status PlexMount it returns the following:
craftyclown@BabyKong:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl status PlexMount

This is what is says if I try to run PlexMount:
craftyclown@BabyKong:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl start PlexMount
Job for PlexMount.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status PlexMount.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
and finally this is what I get when I run journalctl -xe

I'm pretty sure it's going to be an obvious mistake, but I just can't work out what I've done wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
