rclone to CloudStor POC

This proof of concept has been tested in Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal LTS) but it should run in any linux distribution given it's based from rclone docker image.

Install docker and docker compose

Below instructions are based of the docker documentation

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu

Log out and log back in and make sure docker can run without sudo

docker run hello-world

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

docker-compose --version

Run rclone docker container

Copy docker-compose.yml to a folder in your VM after installing docker and docker compose and run the below commands:

cd your_folder

Make sure docker-compose.yml is in your folder

ls -la

Run docker compose command below

docker-compose up

Test rclone can be run from the command line

docker-compose exec rclone_service rclone listremotes

docker-compose exec rclone_service rclone config

Test rclone can be run using the API

curl http://localhost:5572

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:5572/rc/list'

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"potato":2,"sausage":1}' http://localhost:5572/rc/noop
