Docs feedback: Clarify instructions for moving artifacts to other local storage
Problem
It' s not clear on the Jobs Artifacts Administration docs page how to move artifacts to other local storage.
The goal is to clarify this page : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/v14.3.0-ee/doc/administration/job_artifacts.md#using-local-storage.
Want to move to S3 ?
- change gitlab.rb config file
- save and reconfigure
- migrate with gitlab-rake.
Want to move to another local folder ?
- change gitlab.rb config file
- save and reconfigure
- and that's it ? No migration needed ? That seems strange.
Proposal
Update the Jobs Artifacts Administration page to include instructions similar to those on the jobs logs page instructions for changing the job logs local location.
Additional Details
In the "sister" page Changing the job logs local location, we give detailed instructions on the gitlab.rb
config lines that need updating, and which rsync
commands to use.
Are the latter the same for changing the location where the artifacts are stored locally? That would seem logical, also because we list multiple steps for migrating any existing local artifacts to the object storage, but it's not clear.
