Trying to add an sshfs mounted location as a regular file system volume type in Cloudron
-
@msbt you are trying to add
/mnt/mediain the Volumes view ? I cannot see why https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/master/src/volumes.js?ref_type=heads#L57 will fail . That's where the error message comes from. If you are ok debugging a bit, just put some console.log in that function and systemctl restart box. -

@msbt I'm sorry but could you do a small writeup of your setup? I'd be interested in using a storage box as storage backend.
-
@andreasdueren the setup in this case is based on rclone, is that what you're looking for? Because the regular storage box setup you probably already know of, since you posted in there as well

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/32783@msbt Yes the regular storage box setup i'm well familiar with. But that won't work with immich. So you installed rclone and connected via the SFTP backend?

@andreasdueren yep, I did this to install and configure it:
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash rclone configafter that, the config will resides in
~/.config/rclone/rclone.confand will look something like this (I enabled encryption too, because why not
:[backup] type = sftp host = u123456-sub1.your-storagebox.de user = u123456-sub1 port = 23 pass = hashed_pwd md5sum_command = md5 -r sha1sum_command = sha1 -r shell_type = unix idle_timeout = 0 [backupcrypt] type = crypt remote = backup:backupmounting:
mkdir /mnt/backup chown -R yellowtent:yellowtent /mnt/backup rclone mount backupcrypt: /mnt/backup \ --crypt-password "verylonghashedpwd" \ --crypt-password2 "evenlongerhashedpwd" \ --vfs-cache-mode writes --daemon --transfers 3 --checkers 6 --allow-otherThe last bit was the important one, without it mounting wasn't possible. You should now be able to mount the rclone thing as a volume. For whatever reason it shows the red dot, I'm guessing that's because of the fs. However, I haven't had an issue with that in months. Currently I'm mounting it manually on every machine reboot, but there are ways to mount it automatically.

@msbt nice, thanks! Will have to read out on that. How is speed? Are you using it for immich?

@andreasdueren you're welcome, I forgot to post the Hetzner docs, they also have a bit of information on that. Speeds are fine, never had any issues with various kinds of media.
