    Is it possible to use tarsnap's deduplication code on my own server? We're setting up an ML dataset distribution box, and I was hoping to avoid storing e.g. imagenet as a tarball + untar'd (so that nginx can serve each photo individually) + imagenet in TFDS format.

    https://github.com/xolox/dedupfs was the closest I found, but it has a lot of downsides.

    Has anyone made an interface to tarsnap's tarball dedup code? A python wrapper around the block dedup code would be ideal, but I doubt it exists.

    (Sorry for the random question -- I was just hoping for a standalone library along the lines of tarsnap's "filesystem block database" APIs. I thought about emailing this to you instead, but I'm crossing my fingers that some random HN'er might know. I'm sort of surprised that filesystems don't make it effortless. In fact, I delayed posting this for an hour to go research whether ZFS is the actual solution -- apparently "no, not unless you have specific brands of SSDs: https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/my-experiments-i..." which rules out my non-SSD 64TB Hetzner server. But like, dropbox solved this problem a decade ago -- isn't there something similar by now?)
