Mount multiple RClone remotes on boot with a single SystemD forking service definition

[email protected]

# Rclone mount on boot
# Copy file to: /etc/systemd/system
# You need to create a remote on RClone and a folder on your disk, both with same name <rclone-remote>
# This example uses /cloud/ folder as origin to mount all remotes, change it to your needs
# This example use a linux user named rclone. Create it or adapt it to your needs. Rclone will get config from that user's home folder
# Register new service by typing:
# sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# Do the next one for every remote you want to load on boot
# sudo systemctl enable rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
# systemctl start rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
# Usage:
# To unmount drive use
# systemctl stop rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
# To mount use:
# systemctl start rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
# To disable mount on boot use:
# systemctl disable rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
