recent important news

🧪 new features

  • new option --redup (global or volflag) to convert local files between various dedup approaches fd4f434 2291590 16a3f5d
    • turn full copies into reflinks/symlinks/hardlinks or convert between those
    • run it with --redup-dry (dryrun) to check for unexpected consequences
    • WARNING: maybe take a snapshot of your filesystem before enabling this; brand new code with little testing, read --help-redup and use with care
      • the feature is currently being stress-tested; results on tuesday
  • #1643 textfile-viewer can detect filetype from shebang (thx @botahamec!) 097b830
  • when dedup with reflink is enabled, then also dedup between volumes when possible (since reflink makes that safe) 735d6e0 5ddbce3
  • option -i no to launch copyparty without the webserver, for indexing / testing / whatever c92435c

🩹 bugfixes

  • if --dedup was enabled, then copying a file from one volume to another could dedup (create a symlink/hardlink/reflink) instead of a full copy 947d73e
    • mainly an issue for portable storage such as flashdrives, and the main reason why --redup was added
  • the list of filenames given as input to xiu hooks did not have a trailing newline c688bb2
  • #1611 volflag nosub would still result in empty folders from up2k ec4a95e
  • fix PRTY_NO_IFADDR 6867ccc

🔧 other changes

  • iOS: further improved upload-speeds on buggy iOS versions 971a62c
    • looks like apple is working on fixing this bug; iOS v27 made https way more stable but http is still just as broken, so improved the workaround a bit more
  • added --help-dedup and --help-redup 2291590 16a3f5d
  • add a warning that the sourceforge project is not official and probably malware bfc3cff

🌠 fun facts


💾 what to download?

download link is it good? description
copyparty-sfx.py ✅ the best 👍 runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py ✅ also good same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image it's ok good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe ⚠️ acceptable for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe ⚠️ acceptable CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz ⚠️ acceptable similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz ⚠️ acceptable english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe ⛔️ dangerous for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe ⛔️ dangerous runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb ┐(゚∀゚)┌ a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
  • except for u2c.exe, all of the options above are mostly equivalent
  • the zip and tar.gz files below are just source code
  • python packages are available at PyPI
