This adds counters for build artifacts and LFS objects, and moves the preexisting repository_size and commit_count from the projects table into a new project_statistics table. The counters are displayed in the administration area for projects and groups, and also available through the API for admins (on */all) and normal users (on */owned) The statistics are updated through ProjectCacheWorker, which can now do more granular updates with the new :statistics argument.

.- This is the administration documentation. For the user guide see user/project/builds/artifacts.md.
Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a build after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all GitLab installations. Keep reading if you want to know how to disable it.
Disabling build artifacts
To disable artifacts site-wide, follow the steps below.
In Omnibus installations:
-
Edit
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
and add the following line:gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
-
Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect.
In installations from source:
-
Edit
/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
and add or amend the following lines:artifacts: enabled: false
-
Save the file and restart GitLab for the changes to take effect.
Storing build artifacts
After a successful build, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing the build artifacts to GitLab.
To change the location where the artifacts are stored, follow the steps below.
In Omnibus installations:
The artifacts are stored by default in
/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts
.
-
To change the storage path for example to
/mnt/storage/artifacts
, edit/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
and add the following line:gitlab_rails['artifacts_path'] = "/mnt/storage/artifacts"
-
Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect.
In installations from source:
The artifacts are stored by default in
/home/git/gitlab/shared/artifacts
.
-
To change the storage path for example to
/mnt/storage/artifacts
, edit/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
and add or amend the following lines:artifacts: enabled: true path: /mnt/storage/artifacts
-
Save the file and restart GitLab for the changes to take effect.
Set the maximum file size of the artifacts
Provided the artifacts are enabled, you can change the maximum file size of the artifacts through the Admin area settings.
Storage statistics
You can see the total storage used for build artifacts on groups and projects in the administration area, as well as through the groups and projects APIs.
