  Interestingly, I've written a command-line application called checkr to do something like this. It will generate a hash for all files and can store them in a database. I've only tested it on a few hundred files at a time, so I'm not sure if it'll work in your case, but if you want to give it a try, I'm happy to help, including adding functionality to the tool. I have plans to make it into something that could be run as a daemon or run in a container, but I haven't gotten there yet.

• I made a command-line tool to check files for bitrot or modification: checkr

  Anywho, checkr is a command-line tool that will scan some files and record checksum digests for each file. Then, you can later check those to see if there have been any changes. By default, an SQLite database is used via SQLAlchemy to store the results, but there is an option to use a flat CSV file instead. I used Typer to structure the command interface and Rich for the progress bar and some other output.
