How to install dduper?

You can install dduper in 3 different ways.

  1. Using pre-built binary which requires couple of python packages.
  2. Using Docker image.
  3. Using Source code.

All three approach is described below.

Install pre-built binaries:

To Install dduper binaries, execute following commands:

        git clone https://github.com/Lakshmipathi/dduper.git && cd dduper
        pip3 install -r requirements.txt
        cp -v bin/btrfs.static /usr/sbin/     # this copies required btrfs binary.
        cp -v dduper /usr/sbin/               # copy dduper script.

That's all. Now type dduper --help to list options and continue with README.md for usage.

Note: If you want to perform basic check you can use this script

Install using Docker :

If you are already using docker and don't want to install any dependencies. Then simply pull the laks/dduper image and pass your device and mount dir like:

$ docker run -it --device /dev/sda1 -v /btrfs_mnt:/mnt laks/dduper dduper --device /dev/sda1 --dir /mnt --analyze

Make sure to replace /dev/sda1 with your btrfs device and /btrfs_mnt with btrfs mount point.

Install from Source:

dduper relies on BTRFS checksums. To expose these checksums to userspace you need to apply additional patch on btrfs-progs first. This introduces a new command to dump csum using btrfs inspect-internal dump-csum.

If you are using latest btrfs-progs you can get it from this repo patch/btrfs-progs-v5.6.1/.

Steps should be similar to:

  1. git clone https://github.com/Lakshmipathi/dduper.git && cd dduper
  2. git clone https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs.git && cd btrfs-progs
  3. Apply the patch like patch -p1 < ../patch/btrfs-progs-v5.9/0001-Print-csum-for-a-given-file-on-stdout.patch
  4. Now compile and install btrfs-progs.
  5. After successful compilation, you should see following dump-csum option.
	./btrfs inspect-internal dump-csum --help
	usage: btrfs inspect-internal dump-csum <path/to/file> <device>

	    Get csums for the given file.
  1. Now we have required patch. Go install dduper.
	cd ~/dduper
	pip install -r requirements.txt
	cp -v dduper /usr/sbin/
  1. Type dduper --help to list options and continue with README.md for usage.
