gitlab-artifact-cleanup

Currently (as of GitLab 8.12) there are no admin tools for cleaning up build artifacts (see issue #18351). This script erases build artifacts using the GitLab API.

Note: This tool actually erases the entire build which includes the build output log as well as the artifacts. See #3 for more information.

Requirements

python-gitlab - Python GitLab API client (At least version 1.3.0)
python-dateutil - A robust ISO-8601 timestamp parser, among other things
pytz - Timezone info (Only required if you are using Python 2)

Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install requirements locally.

Usage

This script leverages the python-gitlab config file. Just like the gitlab CLI tool, you can specify a non-default Gitlab server with the -g/--gitlab option. Mind that you have to set api_version = 4 for this tool to work.

Example ~/.python-gitlab.cfg configuration:

[global]
ssl_verify = true
url = https://gitlab.some.whe.re
private_token = vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM
api_version = 4

You can specify any number of projects with the -p/--project option:

$ gitlab-artifact-cleanup --project jreinhart/artifact-test --project jreinhart/python-gitlab

Or, you can cleanup all projects visible to you:

$ gitlab-artifact-cleanup --all-projects

Builds for tags are never removed.

Usage via docker

You can run the tool via docker:

$ docker run --rm \
    -e URL=https://gitlab.myco.com \
    -e PRIVATE_TOKEN=vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM \
    cakuki/gitlab-artifact-cleanup \
        --project jreinhart/artifact-test \
        --project jreinhart/python-gitlab
