Remove duplicated files from Moments (Synology NAS)

script.js

// Very fast-coded deduplication utility. It parses standard "Storage Analyzer" report and moves duplicated files to a separate folder.
// Requires "npm i csv-parse 'move-file"

'use strict';

const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')
const parse = require('csv-parse/lib/sync')
const moveFile = require('move-file');

const records = parse(fs.readFileSync('/<PATH_TO_REPORT>/duplicate_file.csv'), {
  columns: true,
  skip_empty_lines: true,
  delimiter: '\t'
})

const MOVE_TO = '/Volumes/homes/<USER_NAME>/Drive/Moments_Duplicates'

const groups = {};

(async () => {

  for (const record of records) {

    if (!record.File.startsWith('/volume1/homes/<USER_NAME>/Drive/Moments')) {

      console.log(`Skip file: ${record.File}`)
    }

    const realFilePath = record.File.replace('volume1', 'Volumes')

    if (groups[record.Group]) {

      const destination = path.join(MOVE_TO, path.basename(realFilePath));

      // Move file
      console.log(`Move: "${realFilePath}" -> "${destination}"`)

      try {

        await moveFile(realFilePath, destination);

        // break // <--- Uncomment to move 1 file

      } catch (err) {

        if (err.code !== 'ENOENT') { // already moved?

          throw err
        }
      }

    } else {

      groups[record.Group] = true

      console.log(`Ignore file: ${record.File}`)
    }
  }
})()

Hi there, just wondering how this works, and if this still works on synology. Is there a how to, to do or run this that you can point me to?

Thank you

Hey @dontstoplearing,

A few years ago, I came up with a script for Synology Moments to parse the duplicate report and automatically remove any duplicate files from the drive. I'm not quite certain how this script would perform with the current version of Synology Moments. But, feel free to give it a shot!

Thank you. I am sorry can you advise me how I would run something like this? Is there something I should look up as to perform these scripts?
