What is the problem you are having with rclone?

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

rclone v1.71.0

  • os/version: arch 25.0.8 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.16.4-2-MANJARO (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.25.0
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

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

rclone mount Nexus:/ '/home/asuka/Nexus' --vfs-cache-mode writes

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[Nexus]
type = protondrive
username = sxchorizon@seznam.cz
2fa = 
password = XXX
client_uid = XXX
client_access_token = XXX
client_refresh_token = XXX
client_salted_key_pass = XXX
### Double check the config for sensitive info before posting publicly

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

i dont think logs are relevant as the command works normally but not in .sh scripts

Paste  log here

and as far as i know the config file is where it should be

Obviously it is not:) as:

It looks that your automated job run as root. Then config is expected in different location (/root/.config/rclone) compared to when you run it from command line as a regular user (/home/${USER}/.config/rclone)

Either specify config file location explicitly by using --config flag or make sure that it is where default location is for a user running mount command.

Or make your systemd job to run as specific user.

Whatever is better for you:)

Anyway i also have I/O errors when trying to do anything with the files for some reason

also now it throws permission denied errors

after specifying User=asuka and Group=asuka it throws this
