tar-fs: Stream-Based Tarball File System Integration
Leverages tar-fs library for efficient tarball creation/extraction via streams in n8n, ideal for file archiving and directory packaging automations.
This n8n workflow integrates the tar-fs Node.js module, providing filesystem bindings for tar-stream. It enables seamless reading from and writing to tarballs as if they were regular filesystems, using efficient streaming to handle large directories without loading everything into memory. Key features include support for pumping data through streams, automatic directory creation via mkdirp-classic, and compatibility with tar-stream for packing/unpacking.
Benefits include significant time saving
