Rclone Cache remount on reboot

Help and Support
1

I would like my rclone cache to be remounted if my server reboots, I am a noob when it comes to ubuntu so I really have no idea how to do this or if its even actually possible.

Hoping a fine netizen could walk me through how to do this.

So you can use systemd to start up things on boot assuming you have root access.

You can put a file in /etc/systemd/system/rclone.service

the rclone bit can be whatever you want. My systemd looks like:

root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system cat gmedia-rclone.service
[Unit]
Description=RClone Service
After=network.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
Environment=RCLONE_CONFIG=/data/rclone/rclone.conf
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gcrypt: /GD \
   --allow-other \
   --bind 192.168.1.30 \
   --buffer-size 1G \
   --dir-cache-time 72h \
   --drive-chunk-size 32M \
   --fast-list \
   --log-level INFO \
   --log-file /home/felix/logs/rclone.log \
   --umask 002 \
   --vfs-read-chunk-size 128M \
   --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -uz /GD
Restart=on-failure
User=felix
Group=felix

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and then you can:

systemctl enable rclone.service
systemctl start rclone.service

In theory, it should start on boot now :slight_smile:
