Great and awesome explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. It seems you are the only one who actually used rclone in docker (which is what I was looking for) instead of mounting it on host Thanks a lot!!
THIS IS GOLD!!! What a great video, topic, explanation, everything!! This should be mainstream operations for any small business. I'm going to tinker with it right now. You have my respect and gratitude forever. Thanks a lot for sharing and for doing it with such taste and quality. You are the real MVP.
@@Jims-Garage that's kinda what I have planned. I want a Docker container with both Rclone and Samba. Though - I suppose they could be separate containers pointing at the same mount 🤔 🤔 Regardless.... The SMB/CIFS would make that easier to use as backup on any/all Proxmox servers.
I'm kinda stuck and don't get it how I can now create a shell script to automate the sync process and send me the logs to my gotify service.. I have my script: rclone sync "$source_path" "$destination_path" --log-file="$log_file" --log-level INFO but I can't get it automated as an cronjob in the docker-compose config, also there I can't get curl installed in the docker for the gotify notification part. A demonstration of a Backup Script with Logfile creation and automatic notification with gotify would be a nice tutorial.
Yes, you could mount a cloud location to your host, and then save restic to that mounted location. rClone should then upload and sync it automatically.
You need to specify an external cloud provider (or use local), and the cloud providers will be authenticated. The Google cloud one is perhaps the most complicated but it is popular. I suspect that the other, smaller providers might be more straightforward (e.g. just a token).
If you're connecting to Google Drive you'll need them. They're basically your login credentials. Other providers might have something different. Check the documentation on the rClone website for specific remotes.
Hey Jim! Can you please give a tip and link to docs of how to run the remote sync script from the Rclone dashboard, using the script files, which we mounted into the container? Im lost here, sorry.
@@Jims-Garage Didn't quite understand how the sync-script can be triggered, shouldn't be automatically triggered whenever there is a new (changed) file on /home/ubuntu/truenas folder?
hi, i use only cli in windows and wanna checksum for google drive and one drive. however, both seem to have different checksum algorithms. do you have any suggestions on this? i just wanna use google drive as the source and sync everything to one drive. thx.
i finally got rclone to mount and jellyfin able to see the files. I last hurdle that finally did it was I had to restart the Jellyfin docker to reinitialize it after it was already mounted. I don't know, maybe it would have refreshed eventually but I'm not a patient man.
@@Jims-Garage So do I need to create a new remote, edit the previous one, or what? Where am I supposed to enter my old encryption key? Sorry to bother and thanks
@@racingtheweb All of that is held in your config file. Simply copy the file and reuse it. Location varies depending on OS (but it's very quick to be up and running again).
Why did we do the extra hustle on creating the config on the Windows Host and copying the config to the Linux Host. It seems that you can create the config way more straight forward with the rClone GUI after the Docker Deployment. edit: okay I get it, the gui sucks xD
Another amazing video from a super nice and helpful experienced IT Professional, definitely worth a watch and a subscription!
You're too kind! (Thanks 👍)

Thanks a lot!!
Glad it was helpful! I too wanted it in Docker, hence it took me a while to figure it all out.

Very kind words, thank you!
Nice to see one of the Weasely twins doing well.
It's been tough since deathly hallows part 2 wrapped up but managing to make ends meet.
Thank you for your clear and concise explanation of this process.
You're welcome 😁
Thanks I was already using rclone but didn't know about the encrypt feature
Glad it helped, a really useful feature of rClone.
Definitely gonna need to watch this a couple more times. My goal is to make a GDrive to SMB gateway 🤔🤔
@@BenReese you can mount it directly using a docker container as well. Nice and lightweight, have used it this way for years.

This worked great. Thank you so much!
That's great, appreciate the feedback
I wanted to ask, if you want to get the data that was encrypted to GoogleDrive, how do you decrypt it?...Wonderful Video, well explained.
You mount it with rClone. Then it's a simple case of copying like regular files.
I'm kinda stuck and don't get it how I can now create a shell script to automate the sync process and send me the logs to my gotify service..
I have my script:
rclone sync "$source_path" "$destination_path" --log-file="$log_file" --log-level INFO
but I can't get it automated as an cronjob in the docker-compose config, also there I can't get curl installed in the docker for the gotify notification part.
A demonstration of a Backup Script with Logfile creation and automatic notification with gotify would be a nice tutorial.
Thank you very much for the video.
Question: can this technique be used with restic too? Because synchronizing is not the same as backing up.
Yes, you could mount a cloud location to your host, and then save restic to that mounted location. rClone should then upload and sync it automatically.
@@Jims-Garage Thank you very much for the answer Jim, but I was referring to the technique of creating "snapshots" instead of synchronizing
Commenting to trick RUclips algorithm
Do you really need to do the google console credentials? Wouldn't rclone default config be enough?
You need to specify an external cloud provider (or use local), and the cloud providers will be authenticated. The Google cloud one is perhaps the most complicated but it is popular. I suspect that the other, smaller providers might be more straightforward (e.g. just a token).
We can proceed without the client id and secret , or is it mandatory to have this client id for Rclone
If you're connecting to Google Drive you'll need them. They're basically your login credentials.
Other providers might have something different. Check the documentation on the rClone website for specific remotes.

Sync_script is mounted into the container, remote-upload goes onto a user machine for manual execution.
ah, i see now! It works, thanks a lot@@Jims-Garage

@@FilipeNeto616 no, the script is not automatic but can be run as a cron job, a mount would automatic as it's essentially a network share.

Nice one, I used to have a similar setup.
@@Jims-Garage I forgot to add, I used the encrypt and union to combine 5 remotes into one remote.
@@dav1dw that's great. I haven't managed to use that yet!
What happens if my laptop, which I installed rclone from, is broken or stolen? How can I read my old encripted gdrive files from my new laptop? Thx
Keep a copy of the encryption keys, that's all you need.
@@Jims-Garage So do I need to create a new remote, edit the previous one, or what? Where am I supposed to enter my old encryption key? Sorry to bother and thanks

@@Jims-Garage Ok I'll check this out, thank you
you should always backup your rclone.conf file, but if your laptop is stolen, you probably want to rotate your keys or passwords just in case.
Why did we do the extra hustle on creating the config on the Windows Host and copying the config to the Linux Host. It seems that you can create the config way more straight forward with the rClone GUI after the Docker Deployment.
edit: okay I get it, the gui sucks xD
Yeah... I hope it is improved over time.
