Project repository storage moves API (FREE SELF)

Introduced in GitLab 13.0.

Project repositories including wiki and design repositories can be moved between storages. This can be useful when migrating to Gitaly Cluster, for example.

As project repository storage moves are processed, they transition through different states. Values of state are:

• initial
• scheduled
• started
• finished
• failed
• replicated
• cleanup failed

To ensure data integrity, projects are put in a temporary read-only state for the duration of the move. During this time, users receive a The repository is temporarily read-only. Please try again later. message if they try to push new commits.

This API requires you to authenticate yourself as an administrator.

For other repository types see:

• Snippet repository storage moves API.
• Group repository storage moves API.

Schedule a repository storage move for a project

• Introduced in GitLab 13.1.
• Introduced in GitLab 13.3, original repository is automatically removed after successful move and integrity check.

WARNING: Before GitLab 13.3, a repository move worked more like a repository copy as the original repository was not deleted from the original storage disk location and had to be manually cleaned up.

POST /projects/:project_id/repository_storage_moves

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
project_id	integer	yes	ID of the project
destination_storage_name	string	no	Name of the destination storage shard. In GitLab 13.5 and later, the storage is selected automatically based on storage weights if not provided

Example request:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"destination_storage_name":"storage2"}' "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/repository_storage_moves"

Example response:

{
  "id": 1,
  "created_at": "2020-05-07T04:27:17.234Z",
  "state": "scheduled",
