Script installation
You can now install a Rclone on Linux/macOS/BSD, simply run the following command on your OS systems:
sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
For beta function installation, you can go through the command:
sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash -s beta
The script checks the version of Rclone installed first and if the version is already present then it won’t re-install if not required.
There are a further few command line options to consider when starting a Rclone Docker from the Rclone image.
You need to mount the host Rclone config directory ” /config/rclone” in the Docker container. Additionally need to mount a host data directory i.e: /data into the Docker container.
By default, the Rclone binary inside a Docker container runs with UID=0 which is meant to be root. As the result, all files created by the run module will have UID=0. If the config and data files are shown as non-root UID: GID then you further need to pass them on to the container start command line.
To access the RC interface either via the API or through the Web UI, need to set the --rc-addr to :5572 in order to connect from the outside container.
It is achievable to use rclone mount inside a userspace Docker container, and disclose the resulting fuse mount to the host. The exact docker run function might vary slightly between hosts. Further, you also need to mount the host /etc/passwd and /etc/group for the fuse to work within the container.
Here are a few sample commands that have been tested on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 host:
# config on host at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
# data on host at ~/data
# make sure the config is ok by listing the remotes
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
rclone/rclone \
listremotes
# perform mount inside Docker container, expose result to host
mkdir -p ~/data/mount
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--volume /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro --volume /etc/group:/etc/group:ro \
--device /dev/fuse --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --security-opt apparmor:unconfined \
rclone/rclone \
mount dropbox:Photos /data/mount &
ls ~/data/mount
kill %1

Consequently, Mount a remote drive
docker run --privileged \
-v $(pwd)/config:/config \
-v $(pwd)/mnt:/mnt:shared \
--env CONFIG="--config /config/rclone.conf" \
--env SUBCMD="mount" \
--env PARAMS="--allow-other --allow-non-empty gcache-crypt: /mnt/" lucashalbert/rclone
Now copy the files from the local system to remote
docker run --privileged \
-v $(pwd)/config:/config \
-v $(pwd)/mnt:/mnt:shared \
--env CONFIG="--config /config/rclone.conf" \
--env SUBCMD="copy" \
--env PARAMS="-v /mnt/Pictures gdrive-crypt:/Pictures"
Finally, access to the SSH while the Rclone container is running.
docker exec -it rclone sh
Environment Variables / Parameters
Conclusion:
The Rclone tool is highly useful for keeping the directories synced and for migrating data between the storage platforms. This is a Go program that comes as a single binary file, helpful for Rclone daily sync and also used for scheduling a job.
