Dataverse backend — latest build

Pre-built rclone binaries from this fork's dataverse-backend branch. Includes experimental Dataverse support — folded into the standard doi backend as a "direct mode" — pending upstream merge of rclone/rclone#9467; once that lands, the standard upstream rclone packages will include it and these binaries become unnecessary.

Platforms:

File Platform
rclone-linux-amd64 Linux x86_64
rclone-linux-arm64 Linux ARM64
rclone-darwin-arm64 macOS Apple Silicon
rclone-windows-amd64.exe Windows x86_64

Intel-Mac binary is not built (the macos-13 runner queue is too unpredictable for a rolling release). Intel-Mac users: go build from this branch — needs Go 1.25+.

FUSE driver prerequisites for rclone mount:

  • macOS: macFUSE, or use rclone nfsmount to skip the kext entirely.
  • Windows: WinFsp.
  • Linux: fuse3 package.

Quickstart (macOS Apple Silicon example):

chmod +x rclone-darwin-arm64
./rclone-darwin-arm64 config create dv doi \
    host=https://demo.dataverse.org \
    dataset_pid=doi:10.70122/FK2/PPIAXE
mkdir -p ~/dv-mount
./rclone-darwin-arm64 mount --read-only dv: ~/dv-mount
