## Description

Rclone Mount is a Docker container that mounts cloud storage as a local filesystem using Rclone's FUSE mount feature. It exposes the mounted drive to the host and to other Docker containers such as Plex, Nextcloud, and glFTPd, letting media servers and file-sharing apps read and write remote cloud storage as if it were a local path.

## Platform availability

Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid.

## Common questions

### Why does the Rclone-mount container fail to connect or show an empty mount?

Create and save the cloud remote before mounting. The mount will fail or appear empty if the configured remote does not match what Rclone-mount expects.

### What SFTP credentials must be stored for the remote to log in?

Enter the host, username, and either a password or a key_file pointing to your private key. If both are blank and no ssh-agent is available, rclone cannot log in.

### Why can another device not open the GUI address printed by rclone?

The printed GUI address is local to the machine running rclone. Another device cannot open it unless that port is forwarded or opened.

### How can I run another Docker service with a rclone FUSE mount?

Some users run rclone and the consuming service in the same s6-init container and keep the FUSE mount inside that container. This avoids relying on a sidecar that mounts to a host path and propagates it back.

### Why might Rclone data transfer be slow even though the mount works?

Rclone's defaults are not optimized for data moving, and WebDAV can perform poorly.
