File Servers... how are you handling duplicates
I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
- Anyone know of any good file deduplication tools?

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.
https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes
Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

Does jdupes do a 'dry run' if you just specify directory(s) and no other options
I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.

replace duplicates with hard links - I think jdupes is the answer, or maybe fclones (I have questions)
I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.

De-Duping a file server
jdupes is a fork of the old standby fdupes, but it has a Win32 release as well as supporting POSIX.

Any good duplicate file finder for windows?
jdupes is a tuned fork of the well-known fdupes, and has Win32 releases.

Lazydocker
This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop
It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.

Found an amazingly handy terminal UI for both docker and docker-compose. Have actually just added the bin to my git repo with all my compose files. Great for a quick look at what is going on host machines.
My problem with ctop is, that it seems to show wrong memory usage data: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop/issues/314

Portainer Alternatives?
When talk about interface and cli... I am a huge fan of ctop

What do you think about Portainer?
You can use CTOP. It's like a lite portainer on CLI. You can check logs, stats, restart containers.

Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
> I tried portainer, awful UX experience and all good features are inside paid version.
This is interesting to me, because it doesn't quite match my experience - I've been using Portainer for around 3 years at this point and it's been pretty decent.
The worst issues that I've gotten is networking issues in some hybrid configurations with Docker Swarm (e.g. Portainer cannot reach the manager node of the cluster for a bit), or troubles configuring Traefik ingresses when managing Kubernetes (though I think the recent patch notes talked about improving the ingress section, so maybe the experience will get better with non-Nginx ingresses).
Other than that, it's been great for onboarding new people, illustrating the cluster state at a glance, easily operating with stacks and scaling/restarting services as needed, including pulling new images, viewing the logs or even connecting to containers through a web UI if need be. The webhook functionality in particular is really nice - you can just do a curl request against a given URL and that will pull the new container versions for the given image and do a redeploy, which works nicely with a variety of CI solutions.
When I last tried, initializing Nomad clusters with networking encryption was a bit less of a smooth experience (needing to essentially manage your own PKI) and the web UI felt more like a dashboard, instead of something that you could click around in, if you're a proponent of that workflow.
Rancher is probably better than both of those options, though there's a certain overhead in regards to running both that software and a full Kubernetes cluster. If Kubernetes feels like a good fit for a particular project and resources aren't an issue, definitely check it out! You can, of course, also have some success with lightweight clusters, like K3s: https://k3s.io/
I'll definitely agree that Lazydocker is a nice tool, but I wouldn't call it superior, just different (TUI vs GUI), their demo video is nice though: https://youtu.be/NICqQPxwJWw
It actually reminds me of ctop, which you might also want to check out, though it's not something that you'd manage clusters in, merely the individual containers on a node (which won't always be enough, same as Docker Compose isn't): https://github.com/bcicen/ctop
Regardless, for Kubernetes, I'm inclined to say that you'd enjoy k9s a bunch then, it has a similar TUI approach: https://k9scli.io/
