Installing RCLONE_RD on Unraid

This guide covers how to install the rclone_rd Linux binary on Unraid. There are probably many other ways of doing this, especially now that rclone_rd is available as a Docker plugin, but this is how I got it working before the plugin was released.

1. Install the following Unraid plugins: a. Rclone (Waseh's Repository) – This will install rclone and rclone’s prereqs (fuse) on Unraid, but we will not be using rclone from the plugin. b. User Scripts – This will be used to launch rclone_rd when Unraid boots up.
2. Create a rclone_rd folder under the appdata share (/mnt/user/appdata).
3. Create a new share as the mount point for rclone_rd. I named my share real-debrid since that is the service that I use.
4. Create a file named rclone.conf and put this in the file: [debrid] type = realdebrid api_key =
5. Put the rclone.conf file and the rclone_rd Linux binary in the folder you created on step #2. For simplicity, rename rclone-linux to rclone.
6. Open Terminal on Unraid and go to the rclone_rd folder: cd /mnt/user/appdata/rclone_rd
7. Take ownership of rclone: chown -R rclone
8. Make rclone executable: chmod u+x rclone
9. Now is a good time to test if everything we have done so far is going to work. From Terminal run: /mnt/user/appdata/rclone_rd/./rclone mount debrid: /mnt/cache/real-debrid --dir-cache-time 10s --allow-other –daemon (This command assumes that your folder for rclone is under /mnt/user/appdata/rclone_rd and that your mount point share is called real-debrid.)
10. Check the debrid share to verify that the movies, shows, and default folders are mounted.
11. If everything looks good, close Terminal and open the User Scripts plugin in Unraid. Create a new script and use the command from step 9. Schedule the script to run At First Array Start Only.
12. I found that manually stopping the the array will not work if the rclone share is mounted. Also, after rebooting Unraid, a parity check will start automatically. To prevent this, create another user script to unmount the rclone share when stopping the array, or when rebooting Unraid. Use “fusermount -u /mnt/cache/real-debrid” (no quotes) for the script, and schedule it to run At Stopping of Array.
13. That’s it. If you want to make sure the new user script will work, just reboot your Unraid server and check the real-debrid mount point after the server restarts.

thanks for this!

This is a fantastic write up! Followed it a couple days back and it's working like a charm with some 'minor' updates to my mount command.

/mnt/user/appdata/rclone_rd/./rclone mount debrid: /mnt/user/real-debrid --dir-cache-time 10s --allow-other --daemon --umask=022 --gid=100 --uid=99

1. I had to add the uid, gid, and umask permissions for whatever reason to mirror my Plex library directory permissions otherwise Plex wouldn't see the real-debrid mount

Another question - I can never get the plex_debrid container from the community apps store working. Not a big deal as I can manually run the "docker run" command but I'm curious if anyone else was able to get it working in unRAID.

Depends on what you mean :) I create the docker container from the Unraid UI with icon: https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/71379623?s=48&v=4 extra parameters: --interactive --tty container path: /config pointing to /mnt/user/appdata/plex_debrid/

After running the container I go to the terminal and docker attach In here I can set up the script and set it to NOT start in menu, when it starts up. After that it just runs

Can you elaborate on this further? I have the icon, parameters and container path set but when i open the console or logs it never kicks off. Did you set all those options BEFORE you pulled the image from docker?

also, what do i have to do as far as docker attach works? thank you!

I'm getting a "Fatal error: mount not ready" error when attempting to do step 9. Any help?

Command mount needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments: ["debrid:" "/mnt/cache/real-debrid" "–daemon"]

Did you create the share from step 3?

Ok. Make sure you use your share name in the mount command.
