Document Artifacts Expire date

Currently we have .gitlab-ci.yml documentation:

It's good enough for the start, but we should also document user side of the feature.

Edit user docs in https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/pipelines/job_artifacts.html:

  • You specify expire_in in your .gitlab-ci.yml,
  • You can Keep your artifacts from expiring,
  • The artifacts are marked as to be deleted after expire date,

Edit admin docs in https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/job_artifacts.html:

  • The artifacts are cleaned up by expire_build_artifacts_worker_cron which is configured by default to 50 * * * * (every hour at 50 minutes)
  • That expire_build_artifacts_worker is a configuration of gitlab.yml (for source installations) and gitlab.rb (for Omnibus installations)
