Sorry but I found trying to work out which bits to keep and where to paste really confusing so my formatting will be out but I have answered all questions.

I've been trying to follow Systemd rclone mount · rclone/rclone Wiki · GitHub

One comment on that that might help would be if it indicated if root or std user permissions were needed on each stage...

I have saved the service file to /etc/systemd/user/rclone@.service (root as everything else there is but permissions are different to rest of contents of folder)

I have issued systemctl --user daemon-reload

I put my working rclone.conf at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

I have tcrypt.env there also (my remote is tcrypt)

Contents:
REMOTE_NAME=tcrypt
MOUNT_DIR=~/tcrypt
REMOTE_PATH=/

I created ~/tcrypt to mount my remote to

rclone lsd tcrypt: works and lists my remote contents

systemctl --user start rclone@tcrypt ("You should now be able to navigate to ~/tcrypt and explore the files you have in your remote." - I CANNOT as it isnt mounting)

Job for rclone@tcrypt.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl --user status rclone@tcrypt.service" and "journalctl --user -xeu rclone@tcrypt.service" for details.

Any help appreciated. I've probably misread something in guide....

hi,

i would not use that, instead use
https://github.com/animosity22/homescripts/blob/master/systemd/rclone-drive.service

and need to use a rclone debug log.

Thanks, tried that and same issue

Failed to start rclone-drive.service

Checking journalctl -xeu rclone-drive.service I found a permission error

I think (just IMHO) the problem with ALL of the 3 "guides" I have seen is that nobody covers permissions (i.e. whether you need root or user to create files or folders). You just have to "work it out yourself" which isnt that helpful.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I'm running now
