Add rclone cache support #18

Closed Wundark closed 4 years ago

Wundark commented 5 years ago

I have been using this for the past day and this volume plugin has worked flawlessly. Thanks

In rclone you can specify a cache to preserve network io and costs associated with accessing similar files many times.

Would it be possible to have the ability to provide a volume to this volume plugin to use a caching directory on the host?

sapk commented 5 years ago

Yes it works and that what I am using. Just generate a working rclone config file and base64 it. If you want I should be able to provide you my configuration as an example.

Wundark commented 5 years ago

If you could provide your config that would be great. On my side I can't see any data being written to the cache folder.

sapk commented 5 years ago

If you installed the "managed" plugin version (docker plugin install command) the plugin is running inside a "hidden" container managed by docker. The cache folder would be inside this container and not the host path.

You can find more details on another plugin of mine : https://github.com/sapk/docker-volume-gluster#legacy-plugin-installation Or https://github.com/sapk/docker-volume-rclone#how-to-debug-docker-managed-plugin-

For the configuration, you can find an example here : https://github.com/sapk/docker-volume-rclone/issues/9#issuecomment-457955774

In last release, I added a variant -with-mount that define a mountpoint on host that could be changed (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/plugin_set/#change-the-source-of-a-mount) to be use mainly to keep cached file outside container but I need to play with it before to choose the best solution. But feel free to try it if you want.
