This service will use the same remote name you specified when using rclone config create
. If you haven't done that yet, do so now.
Next, create the mountpoint for your remote. The service uses the location ~/mnt/<remote>
by default.
mkdir ~/mnt/dropbox
The --allow-other
option is required in order to work in many desktop environments. This flag must be enabled by adding user_allow_other
to /etc/fuse.conf
. If you aren't using a desktop environment, such as on a server, this option can be omitted.
Save the rclone@.service
file in ~/.config/systemd/user/
Make sure you include the @
. This is required to work.
As your normal user, run:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
You can now start/enable each remote by using rclone@<remote>
systemctl --user enable --now rclone@dropbox
Hi, my service stopped working all of a sudden. It would fail to start after reboot and reloading daemon. I reinstalled
fuse3
and Plasma 6 , and removed the--allow_users
flag. After this the service started fine. I realized that something might have broken with updating this week(Arch on LTS kernel). When I checked the/etc/fuse.conf
fileuser_allow_other
was commented. This was un-commented before. I also tried it with the--allow_users
flag again anduser_allow_other
un-commented and it worked as before. Just an FYI.
