Arch Linux: Encrypted Cloud Storage

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The document is currently being modified!

This is the setup process for using rclone which sets up an encrypted rsync with your cloud storage provider. While you do not have to be using hubiC to follow this guide it was definitely tailored towards it.

hubiC is a cloud storage service provided by OVH. I use it to backup all of my data, whether it be from my house or from my dedicated server (also hosted by OVH).

Install rclone

First install rclone.

# sudo yaourt -S rclone

Authorize with Cloud Provider

Run the rclone config.

# rclone config

Create a new remote by selecting n and pressing <ENTER>.
Specify a name for the remote for use in commands. For this I am using hubiC.
Select which cloud provider you are using, again I am selecting 8 for hubiC.
Leave the Client Id and Client Secret blank for hubiC.
Select YES to auto config (provided Xorg is running and a web browser is available). Then follow the instructions and login to your cloud provider so that rclone can get the proper authentication.
Next accept the key download by selecting YES the token is correct.
The remote should now be properly configured.

Encryption

Before configuration of the encrypted remote is setup, make sure you have a folder created on your cloud provider and setup properly for your needs before you continue. I am going to be setting up a folder for an SD Card that permanently sits in my laptop, the folder I created is called SDCARD.
