Tips #

This sections covers things I don’t do often, but I’m happy to know they exist.

Set default path in rclone #

Usually, I set up rclone to use SFTP. It works, but always ask for the path to destination folder, with no way to set a default path. A solution is to add an alias to your config file (default path ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf), as shown hereunder.

[rclone_sftp]
type = sftp
host = docs.kntc.be
user = YOUR_SSH_USER
pass = HASHED_SSH_PASSWORD
shell_type = unix
md5sum_command = md5sum
sha1sum_command = sha1sum

[docs.kntc.be]
type = alias
remote = rclone_sftp:DEFAULT/PATH/

Don’t forget to edit the highlighted lines.

Nano #

I use nano as a text editor. Sue me. When editing, if you want to keep the line/character number on screen, add the -c flag, and you can open a file at a given line with the +line_nbr flag. To open the file bob.yml at the line 100, with line numbering activated, the command would be nano -c +100 bob.yml.
