This document describes the storage of the package registry and how it can be managed.
|
|
|
|
## Deduplication
|
|
|
|
The package registry has a build-in deduplication of uploaded blobs.
|
|
If two identical files are uploaded only one blob is saved on the filesystem.
|
|
This ensures no space is wasted for duplicated files.
|
|
|
|
If two packages are uploaded with identical files, both packages will display the same size but on the filesystem they require only half of the size.
|
|
Whenever a package gets deleted only the references to the underlaying blobs are removed.
|
|
The blobs get not removed at this moment, so they still require space on the filesystem.
|
|
When a new package gets uploaded the existing blobs may get referenced again.
|
|
|
|
These unreferenced blobs get deleted by a [clean up job]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#cron---cleanup-expired-packages-croncleanup_packages" >}}).
|
|
The config setting `OLDER_THAN` configures how long unreferenced blobs are kept before they get deleted.
|
|
|
|
## Cleanup Rules
|
|
|
|
Package registries can become large over time without cleanup.
|
|
It's recommended to delete unnecessary packages and set up cleanup rules to automatically manage the package registry usage.
|
|
Every package owner (user or organization) manages the cleanup rules which are applied to their packages.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Description |
|
|
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Enabled | Turn the cleanup rule on or off. |
|
|
| Type | Every rule manages a specific package type. |
|
|
| Apply pattern to full package name | If enabled, the patterns below are applied to the full package name (`package/version`). Otherwise only the version (`version`) is used. |
|
|
| Keep the most recent | How many versions to _always_ keep for each package. |
|
|
| Keep versions matching | The regex pattern that determines which versions to keep. An empty pattern keeps no version while `.+` keeps all versions. The container registry will always keep the `latest` version even if not configured. |
|
|
| Remove versions older than | Remove only versions older than the selected days. |
|
|
| Remove versions matching | The regex pattern that determines which versions to remove. An empty pattern or `.+` leads to the removal of every package if no other setting tells otherwise. |
|
|
|
|
Every cleanup rule can show a preview of the affected packages.
|
|
This can be used to check if the cleanup rules is proper configured.
|
|
|
|
### Regex examples
|
|
|
|
Regex patterns are automatically surrounded with `\A` and `\z` anchors.
|
|
Do not include any `\A`, `\z`, `^` or `$` token in the regex patterns as they are not necessary.
|
|
The patterns are case-insensitive which matches the behaviour of the package registry in Forgejo.
|
|
|
|
| Pattern | Description |
|
|
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `.*` | Match every possible version. |
|
|
| `v.+` | Match versions that start with `v`. |
|
|
| `release` | Match only the version `release`. |
|
|
| `release.*` | Match versions that are either named or start with `release`. |
|
|
| `.+-temp-.+` | Match versions that contain `-temp-`. |
|
|
| `v.+\|release` | Match versions that either start with `v` or are named `release`. |
|
|
| `package/v.+\|other/release` | Match versions of the package `package` that start with `v` or the version `release` of the package `other`. This needs the setting _Apply pattern to full package name_ enabled. |
|
|
|
|
### How the cleanup rules work
|
|
|
|
The cleanup rules are part of the [clean up job]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#cron---cleanup-expired-packages-croncleanup_packages" >}}) and run periodically.
|
|
|
|
The cleanup rule:
|
|
|
|
1. Collects all packages of the package type for the owners registry.
|
|
1. For every package it collects all versions.
|
|
1. Excludes from the list the # versions based on the _Keep the most recent_ value.
|
|
1. Excludes from the list any versions matching the _Keep versions matching_ value.
|
|
1. Excludes from the list the versions more recent than the _Remove versions older than_ value.
|
|
1. Excludes from the list any versions not matching the _Remove versions matching_ value.
|
|
1. Deletes the remaining versions.
