What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am attempting to generate a log file to understand why an rclone service will not start. I am following a guide on youtube from Simple-homelab and attempting to mount a SMB share from my Truenas VM to a Ubuntu LXC both running on proxmox.
For context here is the status output:
x rclone-truenas.service - Rclone NAS SMB

When I navigate to /home/sean/rclone-truenas.log I could not find a log file, I also manually created the log file and re-ran everything but the logfile remains blank.
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
sean@UbuntuCT:/etc/systemd/system$ rclone config redacted
