#32711: Gitlab repository is full and can't be updated ---------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: cohosh | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/GetTor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: gitlab | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: ---------------------------------+------------------------
Comment (by cohosh): Even after we delete a branch, the files stick around in storage due to our usage of [https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/lfs/manage_large_binaries_with_git_lfs.html #git-lfs LFS]. After uploading about 5GB of files in a new test repository: {{{ $ du -h 4.9G ./.git/lfs }}} There's no way to remove these files from the remote without deleting the repository. See [https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files /removing-files-from-git-large-file-storage#git-lfs-objects-in-your- repository this github guide to LFS]. So if we want to still use gitlab, we should look into to the [https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html API] which might allow us to easily delete and create a new repository from the command line. This brings us to another issue: Gitlab repositories are capped at 9.8GB, which is not enough space to store all the binaries we need. There's a few options here: - Prioritize locales for places that censor the other GetTor providers (see #32716) - Create more than one repository (perhaps one per platform?) - Abandon GitLab for another platform (let's make sure the other providers are reachable for people first) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32711#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
