Rclone setup with a django application

[Guneshs]

I have created an application using django framework.
I was trying to use rclone to backup my images to google drive from rpi.

Code: Select all

rclone -v move /home/pi/Desktop/Project/html_server/picturestaken remote:rclone --delete-after --include *.jpg --include *.log

Code: Select all

Moving images to drive works with rclone.

But when i try to include above rclone command with my django application it fails to find rcone.conf.
I have used this weblink as a guide for rclone set-up.
https://www.hackster.io/uladzislau-bayo ... ted-048422
But there are two warnings in the guide:

Code: Select all

IMPORTANT:

Please keep in mind there can be new storage types under "Type of storage to configure" step, so just double check you select right cloud type.
If you are going to call rclone from other application you need to copy rclone.config to the .config folder under application's root and assign owner and group to it same as application uses:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -p /SOME_APP/.config/rclone
sudo cp /home/pi
sudo chown -R some_owner:some_group /SOME_APP/.config  

What I did or tried?
I tried the first command :
It created a directory in "/" directory as

Code: Select all

/html_server/.config/rclone

tried second command:
It gave me as no destination directory.
so i manually copied "rclone.conf" file to the newly created ".config" directory.
then i ran the third command:

Code: Select all

 sudo chown -R pi:pi /html_server/.config  

But still my rclone command integrated with the my application doesnot work.
It gives me an error as

Code: Select all

2018/02/09 19:47:46 NOTICE: Config file "/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults
2018/02/09 19:47:46 Failed to create file system for "remote:rclone": didn't find section in config file

Please help.
Thanks

Adding

Code: Select all

--config some_config_file

to the rclone command solved my issue.
