Troubleshooting

Artifacts[fn:1]

Delete artifacts older than a specific date

From gitlab-rails console:
builds_to_clear = builds_with_artifacts.where(“finished_at < ?”, 1.week.ago)
builds_to_clear.find_each do |build|
build.artifacts_expire_at = Time.now
build.erase_erasable_artifacts!
end

The same can be done to include logs as well:
builds_to_clear = builds_with_artifacts.where(“finished_at < ?”, 1.week.ago)
builds_to_clear.find_each do |build|
print “Ci::Build ID #{build.id}… ”

if build.erasable?
build.erase(erased_by: admin_user)
puts “Erased”
else
puts “Skipped (Nothing to erase or not erasable)”
end
end

Expiration cron job

In /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb enable gitlab_rails[‘expire_build_artifacts_worker_cron’] = ”*/7 * * * *”.
