What is the problem you are having with rclone?

viewing in GUI the contents of remote or viewing it using cli

using SSH on the docker host or using Filezilla does work.

Which OS you are using and how many bits (e.g. Windows 7, 64 bit)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (e.g. Google Drive)

[stack]
type = sftp
host = ACCOUNT.stackstorage.com
pass = thisisnotmypassword
user = USERNAME@ACCOUNT
known_hosts_file = /config/rclone/ssh_known_hosts

The command you were trying to run (e.g. rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

pass = thisisnotmypassword

Is the password in your config file obscured? That needs to be the output of

$ rclone obscure thisisnotmypassword
LNTT4Jc_tTTSn7so_trtmX1KDLSq528lowl0PS7ysXRGkNA

so

pass = LNTT4Jc_tTTSn7so_trtmX1KDLSq528lowl0PS7ysXRGkNA

It works, thanks! When I added the credentials in the GUI they are not hashed/encrypted. Shouldn't that be a bug?

Yes that sounds like a bug! Can you report it in the GUI issues new issue on Github.

Actually, I'll move this issue to the GUI project - don't make a new one!
