install entware, instructions can be found on the GitHub page;

so you can install rclone with

benba@nas:~$ sudo opkg update
Password: 
Downloading http://bin.entware.net/x64-k3.2/Packages.gz
Updated list of available packages in /opt/var/opkg-lists/entware
benba@nas:~$ sudo opkg install rclone
Package rclone (1.58.0-1) installed in root is up to date.
benba@nas:~$ which rclone
/opt/bin/rclone
benba@nas:~$

I never had any issues when there was an dsm update. I also updated my dsm from version 6 to 7 without any issues for entware or rclone.

ps: i use entware on my synology nas since may 2018...

hi,
can you post the output of rclone version?

23

Mine also stopped working after DSM update but after reinstalling RClone it is working normally now

24 
benba@nas:~$ rclone --version
rclone v1.58.0-DEV
- os/version: unknown
- os/kernel: 3.10.108 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.18
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
benba@nas:~$

version history for rclone with entware;

25

that is a custom compiled dev version of an old version of rclone.

my solution is very simple and uses the official rclone executable.

Synology may have had a good reason to remove the Entware software or they made a mistake like Microsoft. It could be related to the developers of Entware living in Russia. I therefore advise healthy skepticism before installing any software – also rclone.

Agree, I like the steps you outlined above.

very interesting, as when i first posted, i wrote this and then decided to remove it
"imho, given the current global situation, not able to trust entware."

Slightly off-topic, but since yesterday, Chrome shows a warning when downloading Rclone ("...not commonly downloaded..."). Just FYI @ncw

@asdffdsa I set it up the old way and it didn't remove rclone, so I'm wondering if one of the fixes for this update was to resolve our initial issue.

32

well, the new firmware is a small update, not a new version.
