Introduction

Cloudplow has 3 main functions:

  1. Automatic uploader to Rclone remote : Files are moved off local storage. With support for multiple uploaders (i.e. remote/folder pairings).

  2. UnionFS Cleaner functionality: Deletion of UnionFS-Fuse whiteout files (*_HIDDEN~) and their corresponding "whited-out" files on Rclone remotes. With support for multiple remotes (useful if you have multiple Rclone remotes mounted).

  3. Automatic remote syncer: Sync between two different Rclone remotes using 3rd party VM instances. With support for multiple remote/folder pairings. With support for multiple syncers (i.e. remote/remote pairings).

Requirements

  1. Ubuntu/Debian OS (could work in other OSes with some tweaks).

  2. Python 3.6 or higher (sudo apt install python3 python3-pip).

  3. Required Python modules (see below).

Installation

  1. Clone the Cloudplow repo.

    sudo git clone https://github.com/l3uddz/cloudplow /opt/cloudplow
    
  2. Fix permissions of the Cloudplow folder (replace user/group with your info; run id to check).

    sudo chown -R user:group /opt/cloudplow
    
  3. Go into the Cloudplow folder.

    cd /opt/cloudplow
    
  4. Install Python PIP.

    sudo apt-get install python3-pip
    
  5. Install the required python modules.

    sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  6. Create a shortcut for Cloudplow.

    sudo ln -s /opt/cloudplow/cloudplow.py /usr/local/bin/cloudplow
    
  7. Generate a basic config.json file.

    cloudplow run
    
  8. Configure the config.json file.

    nano config.json

    "dry_run": false,
    "rclone_binary_path": "/usr/bin/rclone",
    "rclone_config_path": "/home/seed/.config/rclone/rclone.conf"
},

"dry_run": true - prevent any files being uploaded or deleted - use this to test out your config.

rclone_binary_path - full path to Rclone binary file.

rclone_config_path - full path to Rclone config file.

Hidden

UnionFS Hidden File Cleaner: Deletion of UnionFS whiteout files and their corresponding files on rclone remotes.

"hidden": {

        ]
    }
},

This is where you specify the location of the UnionFS _HIDDEN~ files (i.e. whiteout files) and the Rclone remotes where the corresponding files will need to be deleted from. You may specify more than one remote here.

The specific remote path, where those corresponding files are, will be specified in the remotes section.

Note: If you plan on using this with any other file system, eg MergerFS, you can leave this section blank ("hidden": {}).

Remotes

This is the heart of the configuration, most of the config references this section one way or another (e.g. hidden path references).

You can specify more than one remote here.

Basic

    "remotes": {
        "google": {

Under "remote", you have the name of the remote as the key (in the example above, it is "google"). The remote name can be anything (e.g. google1, google2, google3, dropbox1, etc).

Hidden Cleaner

    "remotes": {
        "google": {
            "hidden_remote": "google:",

"hidden_remote": is the remote path where the UnionFS hidden cleaner will remove files from (if the remote is listed under the hidden section).

Rclone Excludes

            "rclone_excludes": [
                "**partial~",
                "**_HIDDEN~",
                ".unionfs/**",
                ".unionfs-fuse/**"
            ],

These are the excludes to be used when uploading to this remote.

Rclone Extras

            "rclone_extras": {
                "--user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131 Safari/537.36",
                "--checkers": 16,
                "--drive-chunk-size": "64M",
                "--drive-stop-on-upload-limit": null,
                "--stats": "60s",
                "--transfers": 8,
                "--verbose": 1
            },

These are Rclone parameters that will be used when uploading to this remote. You may use the given examples or add your own.

Note: An argument with no value (e.g. --no-traverse) will be be given the value null (e.g. "no-traverse": null).

Rclone Sleep (i.e. Ban Sleep)

Format:

            "rclone_sleeps": {
                "keyword or phrase to be monitored": {
                    "count": 5,
                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 300
                }
            },

Example:

            "rclone_sleeps": {
                "Failed to copy: googleapi: Error 403: User rate limit exceeded": {
                    "count": 5,
                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 300
                }
            },

"rclone_sleeps" are keywords or phrases that are monitored during Rclone tasks that will cause this remote's upload task to abort and go into a sleep for a specified amount of time. When a remote is asleep, it will not do its regularly scheduled uploads (as defined in check_intervals).

You may list multiple keywords or phrases here.

In the example above, the phrase "Failed to copy: googleapi: Error 403: User rate limit exceeded" is being monitored.

"count": How many times this keyword/phrase has to occur within a specific time period (i.e. timeout), from the very first occurrence, to cause the remote to go to sleep.

"timeout": The time period (in seconds) during which the the phrase is counted in after its first occurrence.

  • On its first occurrence, the time is logged and if the count is reached within this timeout period, the upload task will abort and the remote will go into sleep.

  • If the timeout period expires without reaching the count, the count will reset back to 0.

  • The timeout period will restart again after the first new occurrence of the monitored phrase.

"sleep": How many hours the remote goes to sleep for, when the monitored phrase is count-ed during the timeout period.

Rclone Command

            "rclone_command": "move",

This is the desired command to be used when running any Rclone uploads. Options are move or copy. Default is move.

Remove Empty Directories

            "remove_empty_dir_depth": 2,

This is the depth to min-depth to delete empty folders from relative to upload_folder (1 = /Media/ ; 2 = /Media/Movies/; 3 = /Media/Movies/Movies-Kids/)

            "upload_folder": "/mnt/local/Media/",
            "upload_remote": "google:/Media/"

Local/Remote Paths

"upload_folder": is the local path that is uploaded by the uploader task, once it reaches the size threshold as specified in max_size_gb.

"upload_remote": is the remote path that the uploader task will uploaded to.

Sync From/To Paths

"sync_remote": Used by the syncer task. This specifies the from/to destinations used to build the Rclone command. See the syncer section for more on this.

Uploader

Each entry to uploader references a remote inside remotes (i.e. the names have to match). The remote can only be referenced ONCE.

If another folder needs to be uploaded, even to the same remote, then another uploader/remote combo must be created. The example at the top of this page shows 2 uploader/remote configs.

If multiple uploader tasks are specified, the tasks will run sequentially (vs in parallel).

"uploader": {
    "google": {
        "can_be_throttled": true,
        "check_interval": 30,
        "exclude_open_files": true,
        "max_size_gb": 500,
        "opened_excludes": [
            "/downloads/"
        ],
        "schedule": {
            "allowed_from": "04:00",
            "allowed_until": "08:00",
            "enabled": false
        },
        "size_excludes": [
            "downloads/*"
        ],
        "service_account_path":"/home/user/config/cloudplow/service_accounts/"
      }
}

In the example above, the uploader references "google" from the remotes section.

"can_be_throttled": When this attribute is missing or set to true, this uploader can be throttled if enabled in the Plex config section. When set to false, no throttling will be attempted on this uploader.

"check_interval": How often (in minutes) to check the size of this remotes upload_folder. Once it reaches the size threshold as specified in max_size_gb, the uploader will start.

"exclude_open_files": When set to true, open files will be excluded from the Rclone upload (i.e. upload will occur without them).

"max_size_gb": Maximum size (in gigabytes) before uploading can commence

"opened_excludes": Paths the open file checker will check for when searching for open files. In the example above, any open files with /downloads/ in its path, would be ignored.

"schedule": Allows you to specify a time period, in 24H (HH:MM) format, for when uploads are allowed to start. Uploads in progress will not stop when allowed_until is reached.

  • This setting will not affect manual uploads, only the automatic uploader in run mode.

"size_excludes": Paths that will not be counted in the total size calculation for max_size_gb.

"service_account_path": Path that will be scanned for Google Drive service account keys (*.json) to be used when performing upload operations.

  • This is currently not supported with sync operations.

Mover

Move operations occur at the end of an upload task (regardless if the task was successful or aborted).

Can be used to move uploads from one folder to another on the same remote (i.e. server side move) or moves between Google Team Drives and Google "My Drives" with the same ownership (for this we recommend Rclone 1.48+ with the --drive-server-side-across-configs argument).

    "mover": {
        "enabled": true,
        "move_from_remote": "staging:Media",
        "move_to_remote": "gdrive:Media",
        "rclone_extras": {
            "--delete-empty-src-dirs": null,
            "--create-empty-src-dirs": null,
            "--stats": "60s",
            "--verbose": 1,
            "--no-traverse": null,
            "--drive-server-side-across-configs": null,
            "--user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131 Safari/537.36"
        }
    }

"enabled" - Enable or disable mover function.

"move_from_remote" - Where to move the file/folders from.

"move_to_remote" - Where to move the file/folders to.

"rclone_extras" - Optional Rclone parameters.

Syncer

Each entry to the syncer corresponds to a single sync task.

New remotes entries should be created for a single syncer task.

Further documentation refers to the example configurations below.

    "remotes": {
        "local_torrents": {
            "hidden_remote": "",
            "rclone_excludes": [],
            "rclone_extras": {},
            "rclone_sleeps": {

                    "count": 5,
                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 3600
                },

                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 140
                }
            },

                "--transfers": 8,
                "--verbose": 1,
                "--fast-list": null
            },

          }
    },

Remotes

    "remotes": {
        "local_torrents": {
            "hidden_remote": "",
            "rclone_excludes": [],
            "rclone_extras": {},
            "rclone_sleeps": {
                "Failed to copy: googleapi: Error 403: User rate limit exceeded": {
                    "count": 5,
                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 3600
                },
                " 0/s,": {
                    "count": 15,
                    "sleep": 25,
                    "timeout": 140
                }
            },
            "remove_empty_dir_depth": 2,
            "sync_remote": "/mnt/local/downloads/torrents",
            "upload_folder": "",
            "upload_remote": ""
        },
        "google_torrents": {
            "hidden_remote": "",
            "rclone_excludes": [],
            "rclone_extras": {},
            "rclone_sleeps": {},
            "remove_empty_dir_depth": 2,
            "sync_remote": "gdrive:/downloads/torrents",
            "upload_folder": "",
            "upload_remote": ""
        }
    },

sync_remote: In the example above, there are two remote entries, both of which have sync_remote filled-in. This is used by the syncer task to specify the sync source and destination (i.e. sync_remote of sync_from remote is the source and sync_remote of sync_to remote is the destination).

rclone_sleeps: Entries from both remotes are collated by the syncer, so there is only need for one rclone_sleeps to be filled in.

rclone_extras: Are not used by the syncer.

Syncer

    "syncer": {
        "torrents2google": {
            "rclone_extras": {
                "--checkers": 16,
                "--drive-chunk-size": "128M",
                "--drive-stop-on-upload-limit": null,
                "--stats": "60s",
                "--transfers": 8,
                "--verbose": 1,
                "--fast-list": null
            },
            "service": "local",
            "sync_from": "local_torrents",
            "sync_interval": 26,
            "sync_to": "google_torrents",
            "tool_path": "/usr/bin/rclone",
            "use_copy": false,
            "instance_destroy": false
          }
    },

"rclone_extras": These are extra Rclone parameters that will be passed to the Rclone sync command (the rclone_extras in the remote entries are not used by the syncer).

"service": Which syncer agent to use for the syncer task. Choices are local and scaleway. Other service providers can be added in the future.

  • local: a remote-to-remote sync that runs locally (i.e. on the same system as the one running Cloudplow).

  • scaleway: a remote-to-remote sync that runs on a Scaleway instance. Further documentation will be needed to describe the setup process.

"sync_from": Where the sync is coming FROM.

  • In the example above, this is a local torrents folder.

"sync_to": Where the sync is going TO.

  • In the example above, this is the gdrive:/downloads/torrents path.

"sync_interval": How often to execute the sync, in hours. Only applies when Cloudplow is being ran as a service (see here).

"tool_path": Which binary to use to execute the sync.

  • When using the local service, this will be the Rclone binary path.

  • When using scaleway, this will be the binary path of the scw tool.

"use_copy": This tells the syncer to use the rclone copy command (vs the default rclone sync one). Default is false.

"instance_destroy":

  • When this is true, the instance that is created for the sync task is destroyed after the task finishes. This only applies to non-local sync services (e.g. scaleway).

  • When this is set to false, it will re-use the existing instance that was previously created/shutdown after the last sync ran.

    • Note: It is able todo this because the instances being created are named after the syncer task (e.g. torrents2google in the example above). It uses this name to determine if an instance already exists, to start/stop it, rather than destroy it.
