# Phase 13: Add Remaining RClone Remotes - Context
|
|
|
|
**Gathered:** 2026-04-01
|
|
**Status:** Ready for planning

|
## Phase Boundary
|
|
|
|
Expand backend support from the current 7 (azureblob, s3, s3-compatible, onedrive, sftp, gcs, b2) to comprehensive coverage of all rclone backends suitable for unattended Windows deployment via RMM/Intune. Includes new registry entries, auth handling, backend selection UX overhaul (categories + search + icons), and an OAuthInstructions reusable component.

## Implementation Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Which backends to add
|
|
- Comprehensive coverage — all rclone backends that make sense for unattended Windows deployment
|
|
- OAuth-requiring backends included via token-paste approach (same as OneDrive: user runs `rclone authorize` locally, pastes resulting JSON token)
|
|
- All new backends shipped in a single phase (no sub-phases by auth type)
|
|
- Claude picks the specific backend list based on rclone documentation and deployment viability
|
|
|
|
### Auth complexity handling
|
|
- Reuse per-backend AuthToggle component pattern for backends with mutually-exclusive auth fields (e.g., FTP password vs key file) — same proven pattern as AzureAuthToggle/SftpAuthToggle
|
|
- Build a new reusable OAuthInstructions component for OAuth-token backends — collapsible step-by-step guide showing how to run `rclone authorize` for that specific backend
|
|
- OAuthInstructions takes backend-specific command and steps as props, keeps RemoteConfigStep clean
|
|
|
|
### Backend selection UX
|
|
- Categorized sections with headings: Cloud Object Storage, Cloud Drives, Protocol-based — grouped by storage type (matches how IT pros think about storage)
|
|
- Search/filter bar at the top that filters instantly as user types
|
|
- Search matches across all fields: displayName, description, category, and field labels
|
|
- Categories with no matching backends collapse when search is active
|
|
- Add `category` field to each BACKEND_REGISTRY entry — single source of truth stays single
|
|
- Add inline SVG icons per backend card — hand-picked SVGs bundled in the app, no external dependency
|
|
|
|
### Claude's Discretion
|
|
- BackendType implementation: keep explicit union type or derive dynamically from registry keys — pick whichever balances type safety and maintainability best at 20+ backends
|
|
- Specific backend list selection based on rclone docs and unattended deployment viability
|
|
- Field validation depth per backend (regex patterns vs simple required/optional)
|
|
- Icon design approach (monochrome vs brand colors, sizing)
|
|
|

## Existing Code Insights
|
|
|
|
### Reusable Assets
|
|
- `BACKEND_REGISTRY` (src/schemas/registry.ts): Single source of truth — new backend = new entry here
|
|
- `buildZodSchema()` (src/schemas/index.ts): Auto-generates Zod schema from registry fields — just add a new call
|
|
- `RCLONE_TYPE_MAP` (src/generators/rclone-conf.ts): Maps internal BackendType to rclone's type string
|
|
- `FieldRenderer` (src/components/ui/FieldRenderer.tsx): Renders any field from registry — supports text, password, select, toggle
|
|
- `AzureAuthToggle` / `SftpAuthToggle`: Proven pattern for mutually-exclusive auth fields with CSS-hidden toggle
|
|
- `BackendSelectionStep`: Currently renders flat card grid — needs category grouping, search, and icons
|
|
- `TextFieldMD3`: MD3-styled input used across all steps — search bar should reuse this
|
|
|
|
### Established Patterns
|
|
- Registry-driven rendering: RemoteConfigStep uses three-branch ternary (azureblob/sftp/else) — new backends with auth toggles need branches, others use generic loop
|
|
- `BackendType` union type: Currently 7 literals — all type-safe references need updating
|
|
- `BACKEND_SCHEMAS` object: Explicit per-backend `buildZodSchema()` calls — needs entry per new backend
|
|
- `backendLabel` record in RemoteConfigStep: Manual display name mapping — needs entry per new backend
|
|
- MD3 token system: All styling uses semantic CSS custom properties (bg-surface, text-on-surface, etc.)
|
|
|
|
### Integration Points
|
|
- `src/schemas/registry.ts`: Add new backend entries (fields, displayName, description, category)
|
|
- `src/schemas/index.ts`: Add `buildZodSchema()` calls for new backends
|
|
- `src/generators/rclone-conf.ts`: Add entries to RCLONE_TYPE_MAP
|
|
- `src/store/types.ts`: Update BackendType union (or derive from registry)
|
|
- `src/components/wizard/RemoteConfigStep.tsx`: Add branches for backends needing auth toggles, update backendLabel
|
|
- `src/components/wizard/BackendSelectionStep.tsx`: Add category grouping, search filter, icon display
|

|
## Specific Ideas
|
|
|
|
- OAuthInstructions component should be collapsible — not visible by default, user expands when they need step-by-step guidance for running `rclone authorize`
|
|
- Categories should match IT pro mental model: "Cloud Object Storage" (S3-like), "Cloud Drives" (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), "Protocol-based" (FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, SMB)
|
|
- Search should be instant (filter-as-you-type) and match broadly including field labels — so searching "Cloudflare" finds R2 even if it's listed as "Cloudflare R2"
|
|
- Icons are inline SVGs — no npm icon library dependency, full styling control
|
