v2.5.1

Description

When using Custom Rclone Config in the Remote Backup settings, CloudPanel automatically adds the prefix remote: to the value entered in the Storage Directory field.

This breaks valid remote configurations defined in the rclone.conf file, such as onedrive:, because CloudPanel ends up generating incorrect paths like remote:onedrive:cloudpanel.

This leads to rclone errors such as:


Failed to create file system for "remote:onedrive:cloudpanel/": didn't find section in config file

Even if the correct remote is defined (like onedrive:), the system fails because of the forced remote:How to reproduce

`How to Reproduce`



  Configure a valid remote (e.g., onedrive) using rclone config on the server.
  Ensure it works by testing with rclone ls onedrive:.
  Log in to CloudPanel and go to Admin → Backups → Remote Backup.
  Select Custom Rclone Config as the storage provider.
  Enter onedrive:cloudpanel in the Storage Directory field.
  Leave the Service Account field empty and save the configuration.
  Observe the error or check
Possible Solution
Possible Solution

  CloudPanel should respect the exact value entered in the Storage Directory field when Custom Rclone Config is selected.
  Do not automatically prepend remote: unless the user explicitly includes it.
  Add a validation or dropdown to allow selecting from the available remotes defined in rclone.conf, if possible.
  If prepending remote: is required for internal logic, allow users to override it by detecting if a full remote path (e.g., onedrive:cloudpanel) is already provided.
