Does nexus repository duplicate binaries that're help in different repositories and have same digest?

Question

I have a bit confusion with regards binaries storage in Nexus. If I have only one blob store, and have multiple repos that use it, does duplication happens for binaries that have the same digest/hash?

For example: a docker image alpine:latest, is pushed to both repo1 and repo2 in Nexus which use the same blob store, is this image stored twice?

Answer 1

The image is stored twice if you push it to two seperate repositories. This is true of any format.
