Docker / Homelab / Server

Control your server, homelab, or mom's PC with the easiest solution to manage remote rclone instances.

Docker Compose

services:
  rclone:
    image: rclone/rclone
    container_name: rclone
    command: rcd --rc-addr=0.0.0.0:5572 --rc-no-auth
    ports:
      - 5572:5572
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config/rclone
      - /path/to/data:/data

Docker CLI

docker run -d \
  --name rclone \
  -p 5572:5572 \
  -v ./config:/config/rclone \
  -v /path/to/data:/data \
  rclone/rclone rcd --rc-addr=0.0.0.0:5572 --rc-no-auth

Without Docker

Just start the rcd daemon directly:

rclone rcd --rc-addr=0.0.0.0:5572 --rc-no-auth

Notes

• After starting up rclone using your preferred method, simply open Rclone UI and navigate to Settings > Hosts.
• Make sure to allow traffic to port 5572 in your firewall and/or reverse proxy (nginx/caddy/traefik).
• Rclone UI can connect to any RCD port, so you can customize the default 5572 port.
• Use --rc-user and --rc-pass instead of --rc-no-auth in production.
