Wow! Didn’t realize it was built-in.

I copied the conf file, removed the plugin, put the conf file back, and it is back in business. Thanks!

Yeah, I think I'm going to pull it from CA for 7.2+ And better options for rclone-gui available as a container.

I haven't upgraded yet.

If rclone ships with 7.2+ this would seem to be the most prudent way forward. How are updates handled for the rclone binary? Is it reliant on new unRAID versions or updated independently?

Anyways I haven't upgraded to 7.2 yet and won't for another month or so. I won't be updating the plugin if the native solution is sufficient for users of the plugin.

7.2 ships with 1.70.1

Updates to the binary would come with subsequent OS versions as per usual.

Hello @Squid, thanks for the information! Could you please share a link to a tutorial on how to use the built-in version and where I should place the rclone.conf file?
(I’m a total beginner with Linux and servers.)

I also didn't realize rclone was included in Unraid! I appreciate your work on the plugin @Waseh

I got it working without the plugin by doing the following.

1. From the Unraid command prompt I ran rclone config to make sure it worked then quit.

2. I copied the rclone.conf from /boot/config/plugins/rclone to /boot/config/rclone/rclone.conf

3. I removed the plugin

4. Tested rclone config again from the command line and got "NOTICE: Config file "/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults"

5. I copied rclone.conf to /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf and rclone works with how I had it configured.

6. I added a script to user scripts set to run on first array start.

#!/bin/bash
# Define the source and destination paths
SOURCE_CONFIG="/boot/config/rclone/rclone.conf" # Adjust this path if your config is elsewhere on the flash drive
DEST_CONFIG="/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf"

# Create the destination directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$DEST_CONFIG")"

# Copy the rclone.conf file
cp -f "$SOURCE_CONFIG" "$DEST_CONFIG"

echo "rclone.conf copied to $DEST_CONFIG"

# Create the destination directory if it doesn't existmkdir -p "$(dirname "$DEST_CONFIG")"

# Copy the rclone.conf filecp -f "$SOURCE_CONFIG" "$DEST_CONFIG"

echo "rclone.conf copied to $DEST_CONFIG"

This worked great for me!

Just FYI - I had a terminal open before removing the rclone plugin and after deleting the plugin the rclone command failed due to binary not found. Thankfully a new terminal was able to pick up the rclone binary just fine.

@Squid here is where it got added to the OS.

https://github.com/unraid/api/pull/1362.

It looks like a quite a bit was added in addition but there’s no documentation on it and it was not mentioned in the release notes (I could have missed it 🤷🏽‍♂️)

Thanks for your instructions! But: is this really neccessary for the integrated rclone to work?? Can't believe, that there is no way to store the rclone.conf in a persistent location without doing all the user script stuff? Really? Shouldn't this be easier? Thx for any replies!

All the best

I agree. If the devs want to integrate rclone into Unraid shouldn't the configuration NOT be reset on reboot?

Furthermore, is there any official documentation I can reference to see how the rclone integration into Unraid works?

Edited November 21, 2025Nov 21 by dinosaurthug

Fully agree! The plugin was great. This is a step backwards.

Rclone is such a useful and powerful tool. It can't be this difficult to keep the configuration.

Anyone interested, please visit this bug report and upvote.

Done! ✌️

This seems like a step backwards to me.
How did you swap to the embedded rclone now? can we reuse the configuration?
Really don't like this change AT ALL.

Edit:
Apparently there is a webui, I'm not sure what that is since my previous config is missing, so I assume it is not from this plugin?

This whole thing is such a mess somehow 😅

Hi guys

Just a quick announcement - I finally got to upgrading to 7.2.0 and have just pushed an update to the plugin that should fix the version number error introduced in the latest versions of unraid.
As i understand it the deprecation warning Squid had put in CA has already been removed, so the plugin should be back in fully working order and available in CA.

Cheers

Thanks for the update! What about the webui? Will it work again at some point?

I didn't realize there was a problem with the webui. It seems the webui is spawning under the rclone binary that limetech has included with 7.2+. So a webui is actually spawning when you enable it in the plugin (try opening your.ip:5572), though it (probably) wont have your config.
I'll investigate if it's easily fixable, and if not i might just disable it in the plugin until i or someone else has time to debug it.

Very cool! Thanks for trying to fix it. My existing config seem to work as the backups are still ongoing but I just can't see them in the integrated version anymore

Just pushed a new update that should fix the WebUI problem.

Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to start up for me

Likely because you already have one running. You would have to kill any other instance running on the same port.

hmm isn't the other instance the integrated rclone? Do you have a clue how to stop it?

In commandline, first:
pgrep -f "rclone.*--rc-web-gui"
Which gives you a number (the PID)
then
kill -SIGINT (insert number from above command here but with no parenthesis)

Hell yeah! I can see my config now too. Thanks!

Hello all

My rclone user script to mount my drives (below) runs (in background) and never stops. It says 'Running' and has a button ABORT SCRIPT

It mounts the drives fine. Is this a problem having it say 'Running' constantly? The unmount and custom sync scripts all complete and then stop when they have finished.

There is nothing in the logs.

mkdir -p /mnt/disks/onedrive

mkdir -p /mnt/disks/google

rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode writes --max-read-ahead 1024k --allow-other onedrive: /mnt/disks/onedrive &

rclone mount --max-read-ahead 1024k --allow-other google: /mnt/disks/google

Many thanks
