On ubuntu 24.04, download latest release from https://github.com/Zygo/bees/tags
Then install prerequites: sudo apt -y install build-essential btrfs-progs markdown
Then unzip and go in that directory and “make” then “make install”
Find your UUID for BTRFS: sudo btrfs fi show (PATH-HERE)
(might be useless) cp /etc/bees/beesd.conf.sample /etc/bees/beesd.conf
(might be useless) nano /etc/bees/beesd.conf (and put your UUID there)
sudo systemctl enable beesd@(your BTRFS UUID here).service
sudo systemctl start beesd@(your BTRFS UUID here).service
sudo systemctl status beesd@(your BTRFS UUID here).service
Happy de-duping
