RClone Docker is unable to mount any drive under OpenWRT

First and foremost, you can get rid of docker, containers and their intrinsic complexity, and run rclone mounts directly on the host OS.

Yeah, that's kind of what pointed me to try Docker in the first place.

I meant absolutely the opposite. Whenever you come across a complex bug, the most optimal strategy is to "divide and conquer" i.e. strip off extra complexity and isolate the very cause of the bug. Docker adds complexity.

I previously made a thread here regarding how using rclone by itself would eventually crash the system, sort of what running overnight did here with Docker.

Ahh. You have a less complex bug reproducer. I will post right there.

I'm only using OpenWRT due to the more granular QoS controls and Wireguard handling compared to ASUSWRT-Merlin

By putting OpenWrt in container you are loosing the granularity. Normally Docker will isolate programs in container from the host network card. Instead, it will create a simulated point-to-point virtual ethernet veth card, assign it a private IP and put it alone in the container network table. The QoS traffic control in the container will most probably manage packet queues of that simulated card. After going out of simulated card those packets will intermix with packets from other software of the rest of the system. If you are happy with that, OK.
