Using Rclone with Kubernetes

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi, I’m having trouble with Rclone on Kubernetes. All my infrastructure use it and I would like to setup rclone with it.

As of now, I am successfully mounting my google drive in the container but I am not able to export the folder on my host. I think the problem is with the fuse filesystem used with rclone and Kubernetes doesn’t seem to have a correct way to use fuse.

Do you have any idea on how can I expose my drive from the container to the host ?
Thank you.
Here is my kubernetes yaml deployment file.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone --version
rclone v1.56.1

  • os/version: alpine 3.14.2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.4.0-1042-raspi (aarch64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: arm64
  • go/version: go1.17.1
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

Google-drive
