Connecting to Blomp with rclone - this worked

Post by rustylink » Sat Apr 25, 2026 1:11 pm

I hope this helps someone trying to configure their rclone for Blomp.

The rclone configuration is a hair different than I found in an old forum answer. I hope this helps somebody out.

Complete the Config File: Verify your rclone.conf entry for BLOMP includes these specific fields:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[RcloneBlompRemoteName]
type = swift
user = YOUR_email@example.com
key = YOUR_blomp-password
auth = https://authenticate.blomp.com/v2.0/
tenant = storage
auth_version = 2
endpoint_type = public
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Include Bucket in Commands: When running commands, **you must append your email** (which acts as the bucket/container name) to the remote name.
For example: rclone ls BLOMP:your-email@example.com.

Thanks for this! Was fighting with it for an hour the other day and couldn't figure it out, this worked perfectly.

You can also insert this into your rclone.conf if you want to simplify the command so you can just type in;
rclone copy blomp:folder

Eliminating the need to put your e-mail in front of it, also, this is a secondary authentication url, both work.

[blomp-swift]
type = swift
user = your_account_email
key = account_password
auth = http://authenticate.ain.net
tenant = storage
auth_version = 2
endpoint_type = public

[blomp]
type = alias
remote = your_account_email
