Unraid setup

Hi, thank you again for the great app.

Regarding the headless setup.

Is there a way to deploy it in a container but use the host rclone installed?

Thanks for kind words!

Yes, there is a prebuilt container available! You can find the headless RClone Manager images on the GitHub Package Registry.

You can pull the image using:

docker pull ghcr.io/zarestia-dev/rclone-manager:latest

(You can also use a specific SHA like sha-5b25545 if you need a pinned version, but latest is recommended for updates).

Regarding your question about using the host's Rclone:
The container typically runs its own internal rclone binary. To "use" your host's installation, the standard approach is to bind-mount your host's configuration file into the container. This allows the Manager to see and control the exact same remotes defined on your host.

For an Unraid/Docker setup, you would map the volumes like this:

• Host Path: /path/to/your/host/rclone.conf (e.g., /boot/config/plugins/rclone/rclone.conf on Unraid)
• Container Path: /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf (or /home/appuser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf depending on the image user)

This ensures the container uses your existing remotes. Note that if you mount drives inside the container, they won't automatically be visible on the host unless you configure bind propagation (e.g., :shared), but managing the remotes themselves will work perfectly.
