Remotes not mounting after reboot

Help and Support
1

I'm a complete novice to rclone. I've spent the day searching for an answer to my problem without any luck.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm able to mount remotes manually from the command line (see below), but when I restart my Mac, the remotes are not automatically mounted. There are no error/warning messages in the log, in fact nothing is written to the log. How do I get my Mac to mount the remotes every time I reboot?

Thank you for your help.

The mountpoint exists. (/Users/username/MountedDrives/damaris)
rclone is in /usr/local/bin with -rwxr-xr-x permissions and owned by the user.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.68.2
OS: 15.1.1 Darwin
Kernel: 24.1.0 (arm64)
macFUSE: 4.8.3

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

AWS S3

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone cmount DamarisFS:damaris-fileserver /Users/username/MountedDrives/damaris --vfs-cache-mode full --log-file ~/logs/rclone-DamarisFS.log --log-level DEBUG --allow-non-empty --daemon

I am not sure I understand but why you expect your remote to be mounted after reboot?

In order to do it you have to run it:) There are many ways (launchd, crontab, login items and others) to do it but on macOS you can just follow my lazy and easy way:

PS. Do not use --allow-non-empty flag. Unless you really need it for some special reasons. It can cause more trouble than it is worth.
