Aye, here's a couple of systemd units, one for rclone rcd and another for rclone rc mount:

Pay attention to the trailing slashes in some places. No idea why they are necessary in some cases, but I've had to use them...
Also you can see that there's plenty of attempts to unmount a share. This is because rclone really doesn't feel like unmounting them sometimes. It can take several attempts, and I have no idea why.
Your file paths may differ. These are valid on Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04.
You may have to read the code to figure out what some of the options mean. I certainly had to do that.
Also things like umask is in decimal (when you use rclone mount your specify it in octal), timestamps are in nanoseconds or whatever Go uses, etc.
This isn't easy, but it certainly makes things a bit cleaner and allows you to use the web GUI to monitor activity from more than one mount point at a time.
