@nick.thomas started a discussion: (+1 comment) @marcia do you mind reviewing the documentation? This is a first pass, closely modeled on the
doc/administration/job_artifacts.md
file, which shares basically all the same options.We include support for storing the diffs:
- In the database (default, current state in GitLab < 11.8)
- As files on disk (we don't expect people to do this very often, but who knows. It's possible we might make this the default in the future)
- In object storage (GitLab.com will use this)
It's not a user-facing feature, in any sense - only administrators have an interest.
There are no migration paths from internal -> external, or from external-disk to external-object-store, implemented at present.
