[Solved] Rclone and encryption

gurabli · September 2, 2018 at 1:45 PM

Hi,

I saw some posts that rclone mount for GDrive is working on Libreelec with encryption. How can I install rclone and mount my Drive on LE 8.2.5?

Thanks

Rclone is not a stock LE application, nor (AFAIK) is there an add-on for it.

The standard .deb, nor running the install script will work, as LE is a read only file system. However, rclone is a single file and has no need for additional dependencies, so it can be installed on LE.

1. Download relevant zip file

Where xxxx = amd64 or arm or arm64 depending on your hardware

Code

wget https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-xxxx.zip

2. Unzip file

Code

unzip rclone-current-linux-xxxx.zip

3. Create executable directory

Code

cd ~
mkdir bin

4. Edit profile

Code

nano
/storage/.profile
PATH=/storage/bin:$PATH

5. Copy rclone into bin

Code

cp rclone-current-linux-xxxx/rclone /storage/bin

Logout and log back in again

6. Check rclone in PATH

Code

which rclone

Should say /storage/bin/rclone

----------- You’re ready to go -----------

Hi!

I know this is old, but I discovered rclone recently and wanna use it in my rPI. This tutorial still work?

Because when I try cp rclone-v1.51.0-linux-arm/rclone ../bin it shows:

Code

cp: can't create '../bin/rclone': Read-only file system

Hmm, looks like there may be an error.

Try cp rclone-current-linux-xxxx/rclone /storage/bin

I've changed the original
