# rclone rcd
Run rclone listening to remote control commands only.
## Synopsis
This runs rclone so that it only listens to remote control commands.
This is useful if you are controlling rclone via the rc API.
If you pass in a path to a directory, rclone will serve that directory
for GET requests on the URL passed in. It will also open the URL in
the browser when rclone is run.
See the [rc documentation](/rc/) for more info on the rc flags.
## Server options
Use `--addr` to specify which IP address and port the server should
listen on, eg `--addr 1.2.3.4:8000` or `--addr :8080` to listen to all
IPs. By default it only listens on localhost. You can use port
:0 to let the OS choose an available port.
If you set `--addr` to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.
You can use a unix socket by setting the url to `unix:///path/to/socket`
or just by using an absolute path name. Note that unix sockets bypass the
authentication - this is expected to be done with file system permissions.
`--addr` may be repeated to listen on multiple IPs/ports/sockets.
`--server-read-timeout` and `--server-write-timeout` can be used to
control the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time
for a transfer.
`--max-header-bytes` controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
accept in the HTTP header.
`--baseurl` controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used `--baseurl "/rclone"` then
rclone would serve from a URL starting with "/rclone/". This is
useful if you wish to proxy rclone serve. Rclone automatically
inserts leading and trailing "/" on `--baseurl`, so `--baseurl "rclone"`,
`--baseurl "/rclone"` and `--baseurl "/rclone/"` are all treated
identically.
### TLS (SSL)
By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the `--cert` and `--key` flags.
If you wish to do client side certificate validation then you will need to
supply `--client-ca` also.
`--cert` should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation
of that with the CA certificate. `--key` should be the PEM encoded
private key and `--client-ca` should be the PEM encoded client
certificate authority certificate.
--min-tls-version is minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid
values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default
"tls1.0").
### Template
`--template` allows a user to specify a custom markup template for HTTP
and WebDAV serve functions. The server exports the following markup
to be used within the template to server pages:
| Parameter | Description |
| :---------- | :---------- |
| .Name | The full path of a file/directory. |
| .Title | Directory listing of .Name |
| .Sort | The current sort used. This is changeable via ?sort= parameter |
| | Sort Options: namedirfirst,name,size,time (default namedirfirst) |
| .Order | The current ordering used. This is changeable via ?order= parameter |
| | Order Options: asc,desc (default asc) |
| .Query | Currently unused. |
| .Breadcrumb | Allows for creating a relative navigation |
|-- .Link | The relative to the root link of the Text. |
|-- .Text | The Name of the directory. |
| .Entries | Information about a specific file/directory. |
|-- .URL | The 'url' of an entry. |
|-- .Leaf | Currently same as 'URL' but intended to be 'just' the name. |
|-- .IsDir | Boolean for if an entry is a directory or not. |
|-- .Size | Size in Bytes of the entry. |
|-- .ModTime | The UTC timestamp of an entry. |
### Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the `--user` and `--pass` flags.
Use `--htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd` to provide an htpasswd file. This is
in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.
To create an htpasswd file:
touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser
The password file can be updated while rclone is running.
Use `--realm` to set the authentication realm.
Use `--salt` to change the password hashing salt from the default.
