Prune and Check having issues with rclone to Google Drive but backup works flawlessly

[sym0nd0]

Hi all,
I've just set this up and backup works perfectly but both prune and check show errors and I can't fogure out what I've done wrong.

Check error:

Backup being fine and working as expected:

Nothing special in the .env, just the password for Restic and Europe/London for TZ, so I'll not include that.

Redated rclone.conf, again nothing special but just in case I've messed that up:

[googledrive]
type = drive
client_id = <redacted>
client_secret = <redacted?
scope = drive
token = {<redacted>}
team_drive =

rclone.conf location

rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/home/simon/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

I tried to update the volume in the compose file to - ~/.config/rclone:/home/simon/.config/rclone instead of - ~/.config/rclone:/root/.config/rclone and that just broke backup too... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Anyone able to explain where I've gone wrong please?

Hi, you are missing the rclone config for both the prune and check.

[sym0nd0]

OMG, I'm so dumb. 😂 🤦🏼‍♂️ Can't believe I missed the volumes for them and then sat wondering why it couldn't find the .conf. 😂

Thank you!

[5a5cha]

You're welcome.

Had the same issue at my beginnings 🙂
