Feature request: Use rclone as a container

[Londoneye02]

I was wondering if rclone can be used as a container instead of being installed on the host.

I saw this video from the Argentinian Youtuber PeladoNerd (I can help with translation if needed). He created a rclone container in order to mount a gdrive folder into the raspberry. He used it for Plex, but that's not the case...

I was wondering if something like these could be used for the docker backups. I tried runing the backup script with this container up and running (and a gdrive folder properly mounted on my Pi...) But no luck, it gives me an error, rclone: command not found... of course, rclone is not natively installed on the system, it's a container.

I tried to modify the command in the docker-backups.sh file but I get stuck in here, this:

rclone sync -P ./backups --include "/backup*" gdrive:/IOTstackBU/

should be changed to something like this, I guess..

docker exec -it rclone-mount rclone sync.... But then I don't know how to continue...

Do you think this is feasible?

I actually used to do this with FUSE and Plex. I'll see about containerising it, it might be a big lift though and might just be easier to install rclone on the host system, either when initially starting IOTstack, or as an option in the backup menu.
