Understanding the data flow in PG is quite complex. Overtime, I'll do my best to continue documenting the data flow here for you, so that you have a better understanding. What constrains the data flow is when a user who is novice and doesn't understand much about linux, but that's ok. We all started somewhere at one point.
Within all editions of PlexGuide, there is a certain path that is critical... and that is UnionFS. UnionFS is a path that merges multiple paths as one together. Well... you may ask... why does this need to occur in the first place. Ah, good question! A quick learner.
PlexGuide utilizes a program known as RClone. RClone provides the user that ability to move files locally and to other cloud drives. If you search for how to mount a Google Drive, you may tend to notice there is not a real solution and you'll stumble onto other GITHUB project like PlexGuide. To achieve this, PlexGuide mounts your Google Drive in very particular locations, including UnionFS. The paths that are merged are:
- /mnt/move (writeable)
- /mnt/gdrive (read only)
- /mnt/tdrive (read only)
- /mnt/unionfs (read only)
New users will attempt to send their data to /mnt/gdrive.
NONE SO FAR
