Before this fix, saving a :backend config gave the error
Can't save config "token" = "XXX" for on the fly backend ":backend"
Even when using the in-memory config `--config ""`
This fixes the problem by
- always using the in memory config if it is configured
- moving the check for a :backend config save to the file config backend
It also removes the contents of the config items being saved from the
log which saves confidential tokens being logged.
Fixes#5451
Some environment variables didn’t behave like their corresponding
command line flags. The affected flags were --stats, --log-level,
--separator, --multi-tread-streams, --rc-addr, --rc-user and --rc-pass.
Example:
RCLONE_STATS='10s'
rclone check remote: remote: --progress
# Expected: rclone check remote: remote: --progress –-stats=10s
# Actual: rclone check remote: remote: --progress
Remote specific options set by environment variables was overruled by
less specific backend options set by environment variables. Example:
RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH='false'
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYDRIVE_USE_TRASH='true'
rclone deletefile myDrive:my-test-file
# Expected: my-test-file is recoverable in the trash folder
# Actual: my-test-file is permanently deleted (not recoverable)
Backend specific options set by environment variables was overruled by
general backend options set by environment variables. Example:
RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS='true'
RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS='false'
rclone lsd local:
# Expected result: Warnings when symlinks are skipped
# Actual result: No warnings when symlinks are skipped
# That is RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS takes precedence
The above issues have been fixed.
The debug logging (-vv) has been enhanced to show when flags are set by
environment variables.
The documentation has been enhanced with details on the precedence of
configuration options.
See pull request #5341 for more information.
This also factors the config questions into a state based mechanism so
a backend can be configured using the same dialog as rclone config but
remotely.
This is a very large change which turns the post Config function in
backends into a state based call and response system so that
alternative user interfaces can be added.
The existing config logic has been converted, but it is quite
complicated and folloup commits will likely be needed to fix it!
Follow up commits will add a command line and API based way of using
this configuration system.
Includes adding support for additional size input suffix Mi and MiB, treated equivalent to M.
Extends binary suffix output with letter i, e.g. Ki and Mi.
Centralizes creation of bit/byte unit strings.
Restructuring of config code in v1.55 resulted in config
file being loaded early at process startup. If configuration
file is encrypted this means user will need to supply the password,
even when running commands that does not use config.
This also lead to an issue where mount with --deamon failed to
decrypt the config file when it had to prompt user for passord.
Fixes#5236Fixes#5228
Use %AppData% as primary default for configuration file on Windows,
which is more in line with Windows standards, while existing default
of using home directory is more Unix standards - though that made rclone
more consistent accross different OS.
Fixes#4667
Before this change any backends which required extra config in the
oauth phase (like the `region` for zoho) didn't work with `rclone
authorize`.
This change serializes the extra config and passes it to `rclone
authorize` and returns new config items to be set from rclone
authorize.
`rclone authorize` will still accept its previous configuration
parameters for use with old rclones.
Fixes#5178
This commit makes the previously statically configured fs cache configurable.
It introduces two parameters `--fs-cache-expire-duration` and
`--fs-cache-expire-interval` to control the caching of the items.
It also adds new interfaces to lib/cache to set these.
This adds AddOverrideGetter and GetOverride methods to config map and
uses them in fs.ConfigMap.
This enables us to tell which values have been set and which are just
read from the config file or at their defaults.
This also deletes the unused AddGetters method in configmap.
Before this change if a config was altered via the rc then when a new
backend was created from that config, if there was a backend already
running from the old config in the cache then it would be used instead
of creating a new backend with the new config, thus leading to
confusion.
This change flushes the fs cache of any backends based off a config
when that config is changed is over the rc.
Before this change the config file needed to be explicitly reloaded.
This coupled the config file implementation with the backends
needlessly.
This change stats the config file to see if it needs to be reloaded on
every config file operation.
This allows us to remove calls to
- config.SaveConfig
- config.GetFresh
Which now makes the the only needed interface to the config file be
that provided by configmap.Map when rclone is not being configured.
This also adds tests for configfile
This splits config.go into ui.go for the user interface functions and
authorize.go for the implementation of `rclone authorize`.
It also moves the tests into the correct places (including one from
obscure which was in the wrong place).
If you are using rclone a library you can decide to use the rclone
config file system or not by calling
configfile.LoadConfig(ctx)
If you don't you will need to set `config.Data` to an implementation
of `config.Storage`.
Other changes
- change interface of config.FileGet to remove unused default
- remove MustValue from config.Storage interface
- change GetValue to return string or bool like elsewhere in rclone
- implement a default config file system which panics with helpful error
- implement getWithDefault to replace the removed MustValue
- don't embed goconfig.ConfigFile so we can change the methods
The message now includes the flag name to help the user work out what
is happening.
Invalid value for environment variable "RCLONE_VERSION" when setting default
for --version: strconv.ParseBool: parsing "yes": invalid syntax
This is done by making fs.Config private and attaching it to the
context instead.
The Config should be obtained with fs.GetConfig and fs.AddConfig
should be used to get a new mutable config that can be changed.
Before this change
RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE=111M rclone help flags | grep drive-chunk-size
Would show the default value, not the setting of RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
as the non backend flags do.
This change makes it work as expected by setting the default of the
option to the environment variable.
Fixes#4659
Adds a flag, --progress-terminal-title, that when used with --progress,
will print the string `ETA: %s` to the terminal title.
This also adds WriteTerminalTitle to lib/terminal
Before this change there was some ambiguity about whether passwords
were obscured on not passing them into config create or config update.
This change adds the --obscure and --no-obscure flags to make the
intent clear.
It also updates the remote control and the tests.
Fixes#3728
If your filenames contain two near-identical Unicode characters,
rclone will normalize these, making them identical. This flag
gives you the ability to keep them unique. This might
create unintended side effects, such as duplicating files that
contain certain Unicode characters, when downloading them from
certain cloud providers to a macOS filesystem.
Fixes#4228
Bind rclone standard input to password command's standard input. This
allows to provide password from a pipe and collect it using cat.
The typical use case is when rclone is on a remote server with an
encrypted configuration. This solved the environment variable
issue (#3368) and the password storage on remote host.
Now the following chain is allowed:
echo 'secret' | ssh host.example.com \
sudo -u rclone \
rclone --config /path/to/rclone.conf \
--password-command 'cat' ls remote:

This allows rclone to exit with a non-zero return code if no files are
transferred. This is useful when calling rclone as part of a workflow/script
pipeline as it allows the end user to stop processing if no files have been
transferred.
NB: Enabling this option will return in rclone exiting non-zero if there are no
transfers. Depending on how your're currently using rclone in your scripts,
this may break existing setups!
This commit adds the `--track-renames-strategy` flag which allows the
user to choose the strategy for tracking renames when using the
`--track-renames` flag.
This can be "hash" or "modtime" or both currently.
This, when used with `--track-renames-strategy modtime` enables
support for tracking renames in encrypted remotes.
Fixes#3696Fixes#2721
This gives you more control over how long rclone will run for, making
it easier to script backups, e.g. via cron. Once the `--max-duration`
time limit is reached, no new transfers will be initiated, but those
already in-flight will be allowed to complete.
Fixes#985
Before this change the expect/continue timeout was set to
--conntimeout which was 60s by default which is too long to wait.
This was noticed when using s3 with a proxy which apparently didn't
support expect / continue properly.
Set --expect-continue-timeout 0 to disable expect/continue.
from rsync manual:
--compare-dest=DIR
This option instructs rsync to use DIR on the destination machine as an
additional hierarchy to compare destination files against doing transfers
(if the files are missing in the destination directory). If a file is found
in DIR that is identical to the sender's file, the file will NOT be
transferred to the destination directory. This is useful for creating
a sparse backup of just files that have changed from an earlier backup.
--copy-dest=DIR
This option behaves like --compare-dest, but rsync will also copy unchanged
files found in DIR to the destination directory using a local copy.
This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving
existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files
have been successfully transferred.
On google fs (drive, google photos, and google cloud storage), if
headless is selected, do not open browser.
This also supplies a new option "auth-no-open-browser" for authorize
if the user does not want it.
This should fix#3323.
Before this fix, attempting to set a non top level environment
variable would fail with "Couldn't find flag".
This fixes it by passing in the flags that the env var is being set
from.
Fixes#3615
Before this change it was possible to make a remote with an invalid
name in the config file, either manually or with `rclone config
create` (but not with `rclone config`).
When this remote was used, because it was invalid, rclone would
presume this remote name was a local directory for a very suprising
user experience!
This change checks remote names more carefully and returns errors
- when the user tries to use an invalid remote name on the command line
- when an invalid remote name is used in `rclone config create/update/password`
- when the user tries to enter an invalid remote name in `rclone config`
This does not prevent the user entering a remote name with invalid
characters in the config manually, but such a remote will fail
immediately when it is used on the command line.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/rc-rc-job-expire-interval-bug/11188
rclone was ignoring the --rc-job-expire-duration and --rc-job-interval
flags. This turned out to be an initialization order problem and was
fixed by moving those flags out of global config into rc config.
