Cleanup

Remove garbage from filesystem. Important! Data loss!

Remove namespaces(dirs) from all repository storage paths if they don't exist in GitLab database.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:dirs

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:dirs RAILS_ENV=production

Rename repositories from all repository storage paths if they don't exist in GitLab database. The repositories get a +orphaned+TIMESTAMP suffix so that they cannot block new repositories from being created.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:repos

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:repos RAILS_ENV=production

Remove old repository copies from repositories moved to another storage.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:moved

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:moved RAILS_ENV=production

Clean up local project upload files if they don't exist in GitLab database. The task attempts to fix the file if it can find its project, otherwise it moves the file to a lost and found directory.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:project_uploads

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:project_uploads RAILS_ENV=production

Example output:

Remove orphan artifact files

When you notice there are more job artifacts files on disk than there should be, you can run:

gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_job_artifact_files

This command:

• Scans through the entire artifacts folder.
• Checks which files still have a record in the database.
• If no database record is found, the file is deleted from disk.

By default, this task does not delete anything but shows what it can delete. Run the command with DRY_RUN=false if you actually want to delete the files:

gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_job_artifact_files DRY_RUN=false

You can also limit the number of files to delete with LIMIT:

gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_job_artifact_files LIMIT=100`

This will only delete up to 100 files from disk. You can use this to delete a small set for testing purposes.

If you provide DEBUG=1, you'll see the full path of every file that is detected as being an orphan.

If ionice is installed, the tasks uses it to ensure the command is not causing too much load on the disk. You can configure the niceness level with NICENESS. Below are the valid levels, but consult man 1 ionice to be sure.

• 0 or None
• 1 or Realtime
• 2 or Best-effort (default)
• 3 or Idle
