What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have ssh key setup, able to ssh to the remote server with command ssh user@host using id_rsa key file. However, rclone sync failed with ssh authentication error.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone --version
rclone v1.57.0-DEV
- os/version: userful 9 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.14.0-307.el9.x86_64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.2
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
sftp
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone -vv sync /var/xxx/ ha_peer:/var/xxx
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[ha_peer]
type = sftp
host = 192.168.163.194
user = files
key_file = /home/files/.ssh/id_rsa
