Duplicate File Finder (File Comparrison, File Compare)

[smitty123]

it's real, but your suggestion is interesting

looking at https://www.qnap.com/i/useng/app_center ... jump_win=1 it says linux-station needs 4gb ram.

so looks like it won't work on my nas (arm, 256mb ram).

still hoping someone at Qnap will port this in QTS since it's also a linux base.

after two years still no software for duplicated files?

There are many way to accomplish this (dupeguru in Docker, Qfiling, VM options, Entware, etc.)

This maybe one of my old posts, but I thought I’d update it to say that I’m currently using fdupes to find duplicate files. I have it installed as a .qpkg thanks to the QNAP club.

You can tweak the published .php file to change the command line used. I changed mine to ignore hidden files (as QNAP has so many) and group by size.

Code: Select all

 fdupes -ASr /share > /share/Public/fdupes.output

How do I use QFiling to look for duplicate files? I don't have a specific file in mind, but I just want to generate a list of all ducplicate documents (photos, videos, files, etc.) so I can free up space on the QNAP.

I also installed QFiling/Qsirch just for dupe search, don't seem to have that function?

So I do want to +1 on this!

If you are comfortable with SSH, I was able to follow this walkthrough as a guide:

instead of using TVHeadEnd, I chose a random dupeguru image from the repository, which was created by another user.

i couldn't figure out how to get dupeguru docker running, so i instead ran dupeguru from windows pc and pointed to the QNAP share and that seems to work, albeit there is the 1gbe bottle neck

I guess using win10 Virtual station and using dupeguru from there works as well, that part i know how. but if all you require is just dupeguru, then docker is much more efficient if you don't require full blown vm.

Maybe Hero will be available for you guys

Hi, I've a ts251. Is there some tool that can be installed on nas and that can list all duplicated files ? I installed qfiling, qsirch, qumagie, but I didn't got how to use to search duplicate.
Thanks.

Robert.
