Ubuntu

Mount rclone sync

This config allows us to mount obsidian folder locally, preventing issues with Google Drive hashes

# create obsidian folder on Google Drive, then
# install rclone
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
# create a "gdrive" remote config
rclone config
mkdir ~/obsidian

# mount temporarily
# the more performatic option is to use bisync every half hour
rclone mount gdrive:obsidian ~/obsidian --daemon --allow-non-empty --verbose

# mount on every reboot
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "@reboot rclone mount gdrive:obsidian $HOME/obsidian --daemon --allow-non-empty --verbose") | crontab -

Then use the mount as a vault

Unmount

fusermount -u ~/obsidian
