# rclone remote mounts using sftp

This is a guide on setting up rclone mounts with snippets

rclone.conf should be something as follows:

	[Homelab]
	type = sftp
	host = joshuayun.com
	port = 3333
	key_file = /home/joshua/.ssh/id_ed25519
	shell_type = unix
	md5sum_command = md5sum
	sha1sum_command = sha1sum
	user = joshua
  
The mount command would look something like this, we need to specify uid and gid in the options:

	mount Remote1:remote_dir local_dir -t rclone -o vfs_cache_mode=writes,config=config_dir/rlone.conf,allow_other=true,uid=1000,gid=1000
