Cannot mount rcloned drive because of FUSE error

Question

I wanted to mount my rcloned drive. When I try to mount that rclone using this command:

rclone mount --allow-other Webseries: /webseries

I get the following error:

2022/04/28 21:59:46 mount helper error: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
2022/04/28 21:59:46 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1

I want to mount it and referred to many thread related to this.

What I tried

• I tried

  whereis modprobe
  

  Output is :

  modprobe: /usr/lib/modprobe.d
  

• I have tried running

  modprobe fuse
  

  It responds with

  bash: modprobe: command not found
  

I feel like Fuse isn't installing. I can't find any file related to fuse.

I installed fuse using

sudo apt-get install fuse

It successfully gets installed it .

Kindly refer to the log. Click here to see logs on pastebin!

I'm running Ubuntu:20.04 on docker. And seems like docker doesn't like fuse very much.

I even tried using google-drive-ocamlfuse but The VNC rdp disconnects while opening browser for Google authentication.

You need to load the fuse module into the kernel (as root, outside Docker)

/sbin/modprobe fuse

Without this you won't be able to load the Fuse driver that rclone needs inside your Docker container.
