Clean up
GitLab provides Rake tasks for cleaning up GitLab instances.
Remove unreferenced LFS files from filesystem
Introduced in GitLab 12.10.
DANGER: Danger: Do not run this within 12 hours of a GitLab upgrade. This is to ensure that all background migrations have finished, which otherwise may lead to data loss.
When you remove LFS files from a repository's history, they become orphaned and continue to consume disk space. With this rake task, you can remove invalid references from the database, which will allow garbage collection of LFS files.
For example:
# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_file_references PROJECT_PATH="gitlab-org/gitlab-foss"
# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_file_references RAILS_ENV=production PROJECT_PATH="gitlab-org/gitlab-foss"
You can also specify the project with PROJECT_ID
instead of PROJECT_PATH
.
For example:
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_file_references PROJECT_PATH="gitlab-org/gitlab-foss"
I, [2019-12-13T16:35:31.764962 #82356] INFO -- : Looking for orphan LFS files for project GitLab Org / GitLab Foss
I, [2019-12-13T16:35:31.923659 #82356] INFO -- : Removed invalid references: 12
By default, this task does not delete anything but shows how many file references it can
delete. Run the command with DRY_RUN=false
if you actually want to
delete the references. You can also use LIMIT={number}
parameter to limit the number of deleted references.
Note that this rake task only removes the references to LFS files. Unreferenced LFS files will be garbage-collected
later (once a day). If you need to garbage collect them immediately, run
rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_files
described below.
Remove unreferenced LFS files
Unreferenced LFS files are removed on a daily basis but you can remove them immediately if you need to. For example:
# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_files
# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_files
Example output:
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:orphan_lfs_files
I, [2020-01-08T20:51:17.148765 #43765] INFO -- : Removed unreferenced LFS files: 12
Remove garbage from filesystem
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

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.
