1. as long as you copy your scripts, rclone config and the check files you should be fine 2 & 3. you'd have to create another mount for your gdrive remote if you want to upload files unencrypted. anything you add to rclone_mount (not advised), unionfs_mount (ok), or rclone_upload (ok) will get encrypted 4. you would add to plex the folders you created in your new gdrive remote mount 5. yes - rclone works on W10. be careful with making RW changes from 2 machines to the same mount files/folders- read rclone forums if you need to do this 6. my first couple of posts explain why the cleanup script is 'needed' re upload yes - I would have the upload script running on a 30m/1hr schedule to make your life easier. All your 'media' dockers - plex, radarr, sonarr etc should be mapped to the unionfs folder 1. I think yes - as above this is the file 'view' that is what your dockers etc need to use 2. had to google passerelle, but yes - files added to mount_unionfs that don't exist on gdrive (mount_rclone) are automatically added to rclone_upload for upload 3. It's a decrypted view of the files ON gdrive. mount_unionfs is a decrpyted view of what's ON gdrive (mount_rclone) PLUS what hasn't been uploaded yet (rclone_upload) but still needs to be accessible to plex etc until it 'moves' to gdrive. Never point plex at mount_rclone - always use mount_unionfs

linuxserver - never had any docker problems that I can remember

Your API woes might have coincided with a couple of days when google hopefully in 'error' were blocking rclone's user agent - it was fixed and hasn't happened since. Hopefully this won't happen again.... I get out of memory errors occassionally - I think the likely suspect is maybe plex doing something weird overnight as a scheduled job. Weird for me as well as I'm up to 96GB now and I usually have around 30-40GB free. Similarly I haven't got around to checking yet

That's correct - read the earlier posts. If you've not updated an existing file or deleted a file, there's nothing to cleanup!

The info message i added is a bit misleading as the 'error' could be that the mount failed, not that rclone isn't installed. You successfully mounted previously so I think all your attempts haven't cleared properly or something - try manually removing the files in user/appears/other/rclone and rebooting your server and see what happens

run the mount script in the background

your mount isn't running - it needs to be for the upload script to be run

delete rclone_mount_running and re run the mount script

Only problem I used to have was syncing to local devices, but this has been working perfectly for the last month or so. I'm losing my 1Gbps connection in a few months, so I'll be investing the savings on my line rental on a dedicated server. I've also had to rethink how I use my local server now it's not a big media store anymore and I also didn't replace one drive when it failed and I'm considering selling a couple on eBay as they are redundant now.

restart krusader (this issue keeps coming up) as the file rclone_mount_running is in /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone

That's fine. What's supposed to happen is the /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running file gets removed when you run the unmount script either at shutdown or array start. Just manually delete it for now: /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running I designed the mount script this way so you can run it on a cron job to auto remount if the mount ever fails. This check makes sure that 2 instances of the script don't run at the same time

This thread has got a lot more action than I or @Kaizac or @slimshizn probably ever hoped for. There's been a lot of action getting people up and running, so I'm wondering how some of the people in the background are getting on? How intensively are other people using rclone? Have you moved all your media? How are you finding the playback experience? Personally, I don't have any plex content on my unRAID server anymore, except for my photos and I've now got over 300TB of Plex content stored on gdrive, as well as another big crypt with my backups (personal files, VM images etc). I don't even notice the impact of streaming anymore and when I do have any skips, I actually think they are because of local wi-fi issues rather than rclone.

fixed - my mistake - an error sneaked in on github https://github.com/BinsonBuzz/unraid_rclone_mount/blob/master/rclone_mount. you need to add a new section at the start of your mount script - ####### Check if script is already running ########## if [[ -f "/mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running" ]]; then echo "$(date "+%d.%m.%Y %T") INFO: Exiting script already running." exit else touch /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running fi ####### End Check if script already running ########## your first run was actually successful. What failed was the docker start command as you don't have those dockers or they have slightly different names on your server. Remove or edit I'm not really sure what happened on the 2nd run...I think your first mount is lingering somewhere. Manually run: fusermount -uz /mnt/user/mount_unionfs/google_vfs fusermount -uz /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs before running the mount script again. Once you've edited the docker lines and added the missing section to the mount script you should be good to go as long as you've used the latest upload script from github

you need to install nerdtools to then install unionfs - see the first post for the 'optional plugins' section post your full mount script as this is easily fixed

Everybody's nice on this forum! Can you post your rclone config file (remember to remove any passwords), mount script and the log with any errors in the thread please. It's easier to follow and I couldn't open your links anyway, although it could be because I'm on my work laptop which is seriously locked down.

you've got something in /mount_unionfs/google_vfs/ prior to the unionfs mount being created so it fails. Manually delete whatever's in there (be sure you don't want first!)

Neither do I really! I cobbled these scripts together using other guides and Google.

oh yeah, Krusader seems to have problems if you don't restart it. I don't use so I'm not sure why - I use mc to move files

All looks ok to me - maybe someone else will spot something @Kaizac ??. What happens if you create a few test folders in: (i) /mnt/user/mount_unionfs/google_vfs (ii) directly in /mnt/user/rclone_upload/google_vfs Do they appear in /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs? (change --min-age 30m to --min-age 1m or delete in the upload script to test) The only thing I can think of is there was a weird gdrive issue last week where uploads from Europe were blocked for a day, but this has been resolved as far as I know

Can you post your rclone config and scripts please

16gb should be enough. I'd disable the scripts and reboot. Then delete any residual checker files form /mnt/user/appdata/rclone (i think that's where all the script checks are) and then enable the scripts.

your unionfs mount is failing, I think because you created your movies and tv_shows folder incorrectly. you need to delete those folders and then run your mount command/script again, then recreate the folders and they'll be copied to gdrive.

how much ram do you have? Does rebooting help?

It does it when it can't see the files ie the mount isn't mounted. If you want fix ahead of schedule tell Plex to do a manual scan Is all working now?

Does /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs exist? The Plex behaviour is correct as rclone isn't mounted, so it can't see the files. It will self correct once you fix the mount.
