Hi, the problem I am having is that the service that starts rclone does not mount the drive for the plex server.
It is all mounted with google drive.
That is, if I use this command that I put below the drive if it is mounted, but what I want is that it is mounted as a service.
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty -v drive: /home/rclone &
The mount is done on drive:/home/rclone
I have the service file located at:
/etc/systemd/system
The name you have set is: rclonescript.service (with permissions 777)
The commands I use to start the service: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start rclonescript.service systemctl enable rclonescript.service (not very necessary yet as I don't want it to run at startup)
I have a configuration that I found browsing but I don't know how it would work for me, as I can't run it I don't know how it works for the plex server.
I would also appreciate if someone could give me some suitable values adjusting to the characteristics of the server (200GB NVME, 30GB RAM, 8vCores), mostly to be able to play 4K, Remux, etc ....
Thank you for the welcome message.
Looking at the configuration you have passed me, I have put it according to the route of my assemblies, but I do not know if it is well constructed.

Considering that with this command if it worked for me:
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty -v drive: /home/rclone &
Well, I just want to see if I have built the configuration right.
Nothing, I can't get it to work with this configuration.....

i would remove --allow-non-empty unless you have a very specific reason?
both commands should output at debug level rclone mount drive: /home/rclone --allow-other --log-level DEBUG
or rclone mount drive: /home/rclone --allow-other -vv
Does the /opt/rclone/logs/rclone.log file exist at the location specified? In my experience rclone will not start if the file isn't there. I would check all other paths in the service file too. If the log file exists check it also for any errors from rclone.
That's not correct as you just need permissions to write the log file.
If the directory path is missing or there are not correct permissions it would create an error.
