Showcase: I built Dedupler - tool prevents duplicate files
The Problem: Users upload the same file multiple times, storage gets bloated, backups grow unnecessarily.
The Solution: I built Dedupler - Laravel package that automatically prevents duplicate (https://github.com/maxkhim/laravel-storage-dedupler) file storage using SHA-1 hashing.
How it works:
- Every file gets a SHA-1 hash fingerprint
- Only one physical copy is stored
- Polymorphic relationships allow attachment to any model
- Returns existing file record when duplicate detected
Check potential disk space savings
If you install in legacy project you can calculate efficiency of using the package via command
php artisan dedupler:analyse-legacy /absolute/path/to/legacy/storage/directorySpecial Offer: First 5 quality Issue reports will get special mention in the Release Notes!
