Rclone Remount v1.8

Remount cloud storage locally during boot via rclone & fusermount directly on your Android powered smart device.

Virtually limitless storage expansion with support for dozens of cloud providers including Dropbox, GDrive, OneDrive, SFTP & many more. Extremely useful for devices without physical storage expansion capabilities. Also great for streaming large media files without need for full caching. Binaries compiled using Termux.

We are constantly striving to improve this project & make it the best. If you experience any issues or have suggestions please file them HERE. Contributions to this project are welcomed.

Configuration (pre-installing)

Copy your rclone.conf file to /sdcard/.rclone/rclone.conf (not required)
Add custom params at /sdcard/.rclone/.*.param (if needed)
Install the module via Magisk Manager
Run rclone config via term if additional setup required
All your rclone mount points will show up under /mnt/cloud/ & /storage/cloud/ or /sdcard/cloud/

For more detailed configuration of rclone please refer to official documentation

Custom Params

Custom params have been created as a means for users to adjust this modules default parameters which are set for all remotes inside your rclone.conf.

Specification of rclone parameters on a per remote basis can be created inside hidden files ending with the .param extension

  /sdcard/.rclone/.*.param

Where * is replaced with the name of remote

Custom parameters, their default values & rclone params they represent in ( )

  LOGFILE=/sdcard/.rclone/rclone.log  ( --log-file )

  LOGLEVEL=NOTICE  ( --log-level )

  CACHEMODE=off  ( --vfs-cache-mode )

  CHUNKSIZE=1M  ( --cache-chunk-size )

  CHUNKTOTAL=1G  ( --cache-chunk-total-size )

  READCHUNKSIZE=1M  ( --vfs-read-chunk-size )

  CACHEWORKERS=1 ( --cache-workers )

  CACHEINFOAGE=1h0m0s  ( --cache-info-age )

  DIRCACHETIME=30m0s  ( --dir-cache-time )

  ATTRTIMEOUT=30s  ( --attr-timeout)

  BUFFERSIZE=0  ( --buffer-size )

  READAHEAD=128k  ( --max-read-ahead )

  M_UID=0  ( --uid )

  M_GID=1015  ( --gid )

  DIRPERMS=0775  ( --dir-perms )

  FILEPERMS=0644  ( --file-perms )

  UMASK=002  ( --umask )

  BINDSD=0  ( default binds remote to /sdcard/Cloud/* )

  SDBINDPOINT=  ( relative to /storage/emulated/0)

  SDSYNCDIRS= (relative to /storage/emulated/0)

  ADD_PARAMS=0

  REPLACE_PARAMS=0

  PROFILE=0

  SUBPATH= ( root directory of share )

NOTE: _The above are defaults for all remotes without .*.param files containing opposing values.

Custom remote params example #1

The following configuration will disable caching for remote [Movies], bind to /sdcard/Movies & add the -fast-list/--allow-non-empty flags to it's mounting command.
```
   /sdcard/.rclone/.Movies.param

   1| CACHEMODE=off
   2| BINDSD=1
   3| SDBINDPOINT=Movies
   4| ADD_PARAMS=--fast-list --allow-non-empty
   5| 
```
NOTE: There is no need to specify values you do not wish to change. Ensure a line break/carriage return exist after each specified param or they will not be parsed. For more information see issue #2
Custom remote params example #2 (using SUBPATH)

The following configuration will mount the remote subdirectory Batman as the root directory of the share [Movies].
```
   /sdcard/.rclone/.Movies.param

   1| SDBINDPOINT=BatmanMovie
   2| SUBPATH=Batman
   3| 
```
Now the mounted directory /sdcard/BatmanMovie is actually the remote directory Movies/Batman.

Custom Globals

Specification of global rclone parameters can be created in

  /sdcard/.rclone/.global.param

Global Specific Parameters

  NETCHK=1

  NETCHK_ADDR=google.com

  NETCHK_IF=

  HTTP=1

  HTTP_ADDR=127.0.0.1:38762

  FTP=1

  FTP_ADDR=127.0.0.1:38763

Excluded Parameters
```
  SDBINDPOINT=
  SDSYNCDIRS=
```
Custom globals params example #1

The following configuration will enable minimal caching for all remotes, bind to /sdcard/Cloud/*, disable HTTP/FTP & add the --fast-list/--allow-non-empty flags to their mounting command(s).
```
   /sdcard/.rclone/.global.param

   1| CACHEMODE=minimal
   2| BINDSD=1
   3| ADD_PARAMS=--fast-list --allow-non-empty
   4| HTTP=0
   5| FTP=0
   6| 
```
NOTE: Global parameters effect all remotes without .*.parm files containing opposing values. Some parameters are specific to globals while others have been excluded.

Replacing & Adding Params

In order for users to appropriately utilize ADD_PARAMS= or REPLACE_PARAMS= they will need a little background on the parameters that are set by default.

Currently specified params shown here ↓

(directly from service.sh):

RCLONE_PARAMS=" --log-file ${LOGFILE} --log-level ${LOGLEVEL} --vfs-cache-mode ${CACHEMODE} --cache-dir ${CACHE} --cache-chunk-path ${CACHE_BACKEND} --cache-db-path ${CACHE_BACKEND} --cache-tmp-upload-path ${CACHE} --vfs-read-chunk-size ${READCHUNKSIZE} --vfs-cache-max-size ${CACHEMAXSIZE} --cache-chunk-size ${CHUNKSIZE} --cache-chunk-total-size ${CHUNKTOTAL} --cache-workers ${CACHEWORKERS} --cache-info-age ${CACHEINFOAGE} --dir-cache-time ${DIRCACHETIME} --attr-timeout ${ATTRTIMEOUT} --cache-chunk-no-memory --use-mmap --buffer-size ${BUFFERSIZE} --max-read-ahead ${READAHEAD} --no-modtime --no-checksum --uid ${M_UID} --gid ${M_GID} --allow-other --dir-perms ${DIRPERMS} --file-perms ${FILEPERMS} --umask ${UMASK} ${READONLY} ${ADD_PARAMS} "
```
                          ^
```
NOTE: When using the ADD_PARAMS= it will append any additonal params you wish to specify at the point of ${ADD_PARAMS} (above) in a fill in the blank manner.
The script then takes RCLONE_PARAMS= and fills in blank at ${RCLONE_PARAMS}

rclone mount ${remote}: ${CLOUDROOTMOUNTPOINT}/${remote} --config ${CONFIGFILE} ${RCLONE_PARAMS} --daemon &

NOTE: Everything before and after ${RCLONE_PARAMS} cannot not be replaced even with REPLACE_PARAMS= specified.
When using REPLACE_PARAMS= RCLONE_PARAMS= becomes RCLONE_PARAMS=" ${REPLACE_PARAMS} "

Work Profiles & Users

As of v1.8 support for isolating & binding to work profiles or additional users has been included which may provide for some interesting use cases.

When adding work profiles through sandboxing apps such as Island or Shelter it will create a virtual SD for your sandboxed apps. This virtual SD can now be used with rclone remount.

Work profile example #1 (Cloud Camera w/ Shelter)
```
  open Shelter > find camera > clone to work profile

  /sdcard/.rclone/.cloud-DCIM.param

  1| BINDSD=1
  2| SDBINDPOINT=DCIM
  3| PROFILE=10
  4| ISOLATE=1
  5| CACHEMODE=writes
  6| 
```
NOTE: Virtual SDs for work profiles & or additional users start at /storage/emulated/10. Additional profiles increase the ending directory integer (e.g. /storage/emulated/11). This integer is used with PROFILE=

SD Sync & Remotes

SD sync example # 1

   /sdcard/.rclone/.Backup.param

   1| SDSYNCDIRS=DCIM/Camera:Photos:My Projects
   2| CACHEMODE=writes
   3| CACHEINFOAGE=11s
   4| DIRCACHETIME=10s
   5| ATTRTIMEOUT=10s
   6|

NOTE: SDSYNCDIRS= paths are relative to /storage/emulated/PROFILE=0. Paths are to be separated using a : . This variable is should be whitespace friendly.

Known Issues

VLC takes a long time to load media as it opens file in write mode when using it's internal browser.

a. Create remote type alias for media dirs in rclone.conf and specify CACHEMODE=off in /sdcard/.rclone/.ALIASNAME.param
Encrypted devices can not mount until unlock
Encrypted rclone.conf causes reboots
High cpu/mem in some apps with storage perms (issue #9)
The fusermount bin may not be compatible on all devices (see thread)
