This video details how to use rClone to backup your data securely in the cloud, you can also find all of the config files on my GitHub. More specifically I cover how to:
- Set up a remote in rClone
- Create a project in Google Drive to grant access for rClone
- Create a config for rClone to mount to your container
- Deploy rClone in a Docker container (and Windows)
- Enable remote backups with a backup script
- Mount your cloud remote on your Docker host and in Windows (access your cloud storage as though it was a local drive!)
- Encrypt your backups using rClone to maintain your privacy

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.

Thanks I was already using rclone but didn't know about the encrypt feature

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.

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

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.

@gmansi 10 ай бұрын

@@Jims-Garage Thank you very much for the answer Jim, but I was referring to the technique of creating "snapshots" instead of synchronizing

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 wanted to ask, if you want to get the data that was encrypted to GoogleDrive, how do you decrypt it?...Wonderful Video, well explained.

@Jims-Garage 4 ай бұрын

You mount it with rClone. Then it's a simple case of copying like regular files.

@leodsouza5272 10 ай бұрын

We can proceed without the client id and secret , or is it mandatory to have this client id for Rclone

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

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 6 ай бұрын

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

@@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?

@Jims-Garage Ай бұрын

@@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.

@nihoniumog5185 11 ай бұрын

Do you really need to do the google console credentials? Wouldn't rclone default config be enough?

@Jims-Garage 11 ай бұрын

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).

@conan1231 4 ай бұрын

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.
