Rclone in gitlab pipeline

Help and Support
1

Hi,

I am trying to integrate rclone into a gitlab pipeline and what I was thinking to do was to put the config file in a repository (I created a config folder in the repo and I added an empty rclone.conf file in it) and mount it in the rclone image but it doesn't seem to mount.

To be more specific, my pipeline looks something like this:

image: docker:latest
services:
  - docker:dind
stages:
  - test
test: 
  stage: test
  before_script:
    - echo "name_of_remote" >> config/rclone.conf
    - echo "rest of the settings" >> config/rclone.conf
  script:
    - docker run --rm --volume $(pwd)/config:/config/rclone rclone/rclone listremotes

and what i get is

NOTICE: Config file "/config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults

I tried this with rclone:latest and with rclone:beta (my goal is to use beta as I intend to connect to Proton Drive). I also tried with the option --user $(id -u):$(id -g) but every time I got the same result.

Also doing

docker run --rm --volume $(pwd)/config:/config/rclone rclone/rclone:beta ls /config/rclone

gives the same notification.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong because on my Debian 12 machine everything works like a charm...

welcome to the forum,

not sure what the issue, just wanted to point out

  1. to find the config file, rclone config file
  2. to hardcode the config file location, --config=
3

Many thanks! I'll try that.

$ docker run --rm --volume $(pwd)/config:/mnt rclone/rclone:beta --config=/mnt/rclone.conf listremotes

find the config file inside docker, without using rclone.
or
if you want to use rclone, try something like
rclone ls / --include=rclone.conf

6 
$ docker run --rm -v ./config:/mnt rclone/rclone:beta ls /mnt
2024/08/26 15:03:30 NOTICE: Config file "/config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults

so the file is not there so for some reason it is not mounting the volume, i guess

I get the same notice

ok. so not a rclone issue.

this worked for me

docker run --rm --volume $(pwd)/.config/rclone:/mnt rclone/rclone --config=/mnt/rclone.conf -vv listremotes
2024/08/26 22:58:16 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "--config=/mnt/rclone.conf" "-vv" "listremotes"]
2024/08/26 22:58:16 DEBUG : Using config file from "/mnt/rclone.conf"

Actually, I got it fixed. the issue indeed was not with the rclone image but with the configuration of the docker executor in the gitlab runner. I switched to shell executor and the volume got mounted.
Many thanks for making me realize that!
