Rclone SMB Mount on Ubuntu/LXC - 💪The Power of Caching

SMB (or Samba) is one of the most common protocols to mount remote folders. But SMB via Rclone is my preferred method.

In this video I show you how to mount a remote folder, such as from your Network Attached Storage device, on an Ubuntu/Debian server, using Rclone.

In addition, I also explain the advantages of mount SMB via Rclone compared to a traditional SMB mount on a Linux server.

For this demo, I will continue building on the Proxmox Ubuntu 22.04 unprivileged LXC that I built in my previous videos. But the procedure is the same for nearly all environments of Ubuntu/Debian.
