You are helping the user set up rclone for cloud storage management. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Process |
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Check if rclone is installed** |
|
|
- Run `rclone version` to check installation |
|
|
- If not installed, install using: `sudo apt install rclone` or download from rclone.org |
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Check existing remotes** |
|
|
- Run `rclone listremotes` to see configured remotes |
|
|
- Run `rclone config file` to show config file location |
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Configure new remotes if needed** |
|
|
- Run `rclone config` for interactive setup |
|
|
- Guide user through: |
|
|
- Choosing storage type (S3, B2, Google Drive, etc.) |
|
|
- Entering credentials |
|
|
- Testing connection |
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Validate existing remotes** |
|
|
- For each remote, test with: `rclone lsd <remote>:` |
|
|
- Verify access and permissions |
|
|
|
|
|
5. **Optimization suggestions** |
|
|
- Suggest setting up encrypted remotes for sensitive data |
|
|
- Recommend bandwidth limits if needed: `--bwlimit` |
|
|
- Suggest useful flags for backups: `--transfers`, `--checkers` |
|
|
- Offer to create wrapper scripts for common operations |
|
|
