Background of Update Rclone On OpenHABian
I faced some issues with Google drive. For this reason and after many hours of troubleshooting I decided to update Rclone. The result was that all the errors I had disappeared. I think this guide is maybe useful for you, if you face some errors too.
How To Update Rclone On OpenHABian
Installing rclone is easy. You simple fire the below command on your OpenHAB console:
sudo apt-get install rclone
To find out which version you have installed, you can run the below command.
rclone version
If the version is 1.53.3, then you run on an old version. RClone is currently in the version 1.6.x.x The reason for why you have an old version is that you have installed the standard openHABian and that this bases on Debian Linux. Debian Linux is currently using the 1.53.3 version in its stable distribution.
Update rclone from 1.53.3
First, we will deinstall the old 1.53.3 version. This you can get done by executing (the “– purge” will delete all previously made configurations. If you like to keep your configurations simply do not add the –purge):
sudo apt-get --purge remove rclone
Now let’s grab the newest version of rclone and then install it. This you can do by executing the online available installation script.
sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
Doublecheck now whether you have the latest version.
sudo rclone version
If you have 1.6x.x, then you should be fine for the below next steps. Jump to the “Configure rclone” chapter.
