https://github.com/GuB-42/dupfiletree
A tool to find identical files.
Compared to other tools that do similar things, it can also find identical directories, handles archives and is designed to work with millions of files efficiently.
It works is two steps: first make a list of files and checksums with xmd5 and analyze it with dupfiletree.
Made for personal use, not documented, designed for performance first, stable enough for me but use at your own risk.

+1 on shynet! I use it for my personal website and my blog, and it's been working great.
I got it up and running with Podman, so no need to install and run the Docker daemon. I also fixed SQLite support [1], so no need for an additional DB server.
I analyzed available open-source web analytics tools [2] and AFAIK there is simpler solution for web analytics that doesn't involve a third party.
