I am trying to simplify the rclone config with a batch file so that an end-user does not need to use the command line at all. I want that an end-user only enters the login details to browser window that rclone config opens during the config process.
I am trying to send rclone configurations parameters into it programmatically with a batch file, I want that all default settings come from a file config.txt and then rclone only pops up the browser window to ask the cloud login credentials. I am using a batch file syntax
rclone config <config.txt
The text file CONFIG.TXT contains these commands, one/row with a linefeed:
n
mydropbox
12
blank crlf
blank crlf
n
y
When these commands are given manually to rclone, the dropbox login page appears, but from the batch file there is an error "Failed to read line: EOF" shown and the batch file does not work and the browser files does not appear.
Current remotes:
Name Type ==== ==== dropbox dropbox
e) Edit existing remote n) New remote d) Delete remote r) Rename remote c) Copy remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q>
name>
2022/10/13 07:19:23 Failed to read line: EOF
How to solve the issue, so that I can deliver to customers a batch file that preconfigures the dropbox and only opens the browser window to ask login details?
Or is it a better method to write the .conf file by batch file and set the env var RCLONE_CONFIG, or perhaps to use somehow remote setup procedure described at https://rclone.org/remote_setup/, but how?
