Pcloud integration
Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Integration des pCloud Storages in einen Headless-Server mit Hilfe des paketes rclone
Vorbereitungen
Installation rclone auf dem Server und einem Client (Client hat Zugriff auf einen Webbrowser)
In der Datei /etc/fuse.conf muss die Zeile user_allow_other auskommentiert werden.
Dadurch kann der Benutzer und andere Services auf das Verzeichnis zugreifen
Änderung der Datei /etc/fuse.conf
# The file /etc/fuse.conf allows for the following parameters:
#
# user_allow_other - Using the allow_other mount option works fine as root, but
# in order to have it work as a regular user, you need to set user_allow_other
# in /etc/fuse.conf as well. This option allows non-root users to use the
# allow_other option. You need allow_other if you want users other than the
# owner of a mounted fuse to access it. This option must appear on a line by
# itself. There is no value; just the presence of the option activates it.
user_allow_other
# mount_max = n - this option sets the maximum number of mounts.
# It must be typed exactly as shown (with a single space before and after the
# equals sign).
#mount_max = 1000

Erstellen des Tokens
Option config_token.
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
a web browser available.
For more help and alternate methods see: https://rclone.org/remote_setup/
Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
rclone authorize "pcloud" "eyJob3N0bmFtZSI6ImVhcGkucGNsb3VkLmNvbSIsInBhc3N3b3JkIjoiako3MEhiZ240VWQ1M1Z3Z2VseXVFcU1qZHZ3QVAwZjljbVkifQ"
Then paste the result.
Enter a value.

Jetzt auf den Client wechseln, der einen Zugriff auf den Browser hat und den Befehl eingeben
Authorize Key auf dem Client abrufen
