Hi; I just reduced QEMU's storage usage on gitlab by 130GB (no typo!)
using https://gitlab.com/eskultety/gitlab_cleaner, which Dan helpfully
pointed me at. This script removes old pipelines, which take up a
lot of storage space for QEMU because they include the stdout logs
for all the CI jobs in the pipeline. (Gitlab doesn't expire these,
either by default or configurably -- you have to either manually delete
the pipeline in the UI or else use the API, as this script does.)
I somewhat conservatively only blew away pipelines from before the
1st January 2022. I feel like we don't really even need 6 months worth
of CI job logs, though -- any views on whether we should be pruning
them more aggressively ?
I'd say we should at least keep the logs of the last 4 to 5 months, i.e. the
logs for one release cycle, so we can check these logs in case we introduced
a new bug in the current release cycle.
