🧪 new features
- #105 files named
preadme.mdappear at the top of directory listings 1d68acf - entirely disable dedup with
--no-clone/ volflagnoclone3d7facd 6b7ebdb- even if a file exists for sure on the server HDD, let the client continue uploading instead of reusing the existing data
- using this option "never" makes sense, unless you're using something like S3 Glacier storage where reading is really expensive but writing is cheap
🩹 bugfixes
- up2k jank after detecting a bitflip or network glitch 4a4ec88
- instead of resuming the interrupted upload like it should, the upload client could get stuck or start over

upload deduplication now disabled by default
because many people found the behavior surprising. This also makes it easier to use copyparty together with other software, since there is no risk of damage to symlinks if there are no symlinks to damage
to enable deduplication, use either --dedup (old-default, symlink-based), or --hardlink (will use hardlinks when possible), or --hardlink-only (disallow symlinks). To choose the approach that fits your usecase, see file deduplication in the readme
verification of local file consistency was also added; this happens when someone uploads a dupe, to ensure that no other software has modified the local file since last reindex. This unfortunately makes uploading of duplicate files much slower, and can be disabled with --safe-dedup 1 if you know that only copyparty will be modifying the filesystem
new features
- dedup improvements:
- verify consistency of local files before using them as dedup source 6e671c5
- if a local file has been altered by other software since the last reindexing, then this will now be detected
- verify consistency of local files before using them as dedup source 6e671c5
- u2c (commandline uploader): add mode to print hashes of local files 08848be
- if you've lost a file but you know its
wark(file identifier), you can now use u2c.exe to scan your whole filesystem for it:u2c - .

- #96 use local timezone in log messages b599fba
bugfixes
- dedup fixes:
- database consistency verifier (
-e2vp):- support filenames with newlines, and warn about missing files b0de84c
- opengraph/
--og: fix viewing textfiles e5a836c - up2k.js: fix confusing message when uploading many copies of the same file f1130db
other changes
- disable upload deduplication by default a2e0f98

important bugfix ☢️
this version fixes a file deduplication bug which was introduced in v1.13.8, released 2024-08-13
its worst-case outcome is loss of data in the following scenario:
- someone uploads a file into a folder where that filename is already taken, but the file contents are different, and the server already has a copy of that new file elsewhere under a different name
specific example:
- the server has two existing files,
logo.pngandlogo-v2.png, in the same volume but not necessarily in the same folder, and those files contain different data - you have a local copy of
logo-v2.pngon your laptop, but your local filename islogo.png - you upload your local
logo.pngonto the server, into the same folder as the server'slogo.png - because the files contain different data, the server accidentally replaces the contents of
logo.pngwith your version
if you have been using the database feature (globally with -e2dsa or volflag e2ds), and you suspect you may have hit this bug, then it is a good idea to make a backup of the up2k databases for all your volumes (the files with names starting with up2k.db) before restarting copyparty and before you do anything else, especially if you do not have serverlogs from far back in time -- if you have either the databases and/or the serverlogs, then it is possible to identify replaced files with some manual work
you can check if you hit the bug using one of the following two approaches:
- if your OS has the gnu find command, do a search for empty files with
find -type f -size 0 - using copyparty (any OS), do the following steps:
- make sure that reindex-on-startup is enabled; either globally with
-e2dsaor volflage2ds - then install this new copyparty version
- click the search tab
[🔎]and type the number0into themaximum MiBtextbox
- make sure that reindex-on-startup is enabled; either globally with
if you find any empty files with a filename that indicates it was autogenerated to avoid a name collision, for example logo.png-1725040569.239207-kbt0xteO.png, and the value of the number after logo.png is larger than 1723507200 (unixtime for 2024-08-13), then this indicates that logo.png may have been replaced by another upload
if you have the serverlogs from when the original upload of logo.png was made, then this can be used to identify the original contents of the file that was replaced, and to look for other copies. Please get in touch on the discord for assistance if necessary
