JFrog Artifactory, really a cool thing - i'm runing out of space, so i followed the docs at:
a question arrises: Storage Summary shows use of 60GB, but Total Repository Artifacts Size is 12GB. i checked the backup's folder, but the main-part is in /filestore ( about 55GB ) which is some kind of binary store ....
is this normal ?
Yes, artifactory stores the data at the backend based on checksum. The metadata of the artifacts are stored in the db -- which is defined in the db.properties file. The UI displays the metadata from the DB and the artifacts are referred from the checksum storage in the backend server.
filestore is where the artifacts are stored.
There is a plugin in artifactory where the artifacts can be deleted using groovy based on the artifacts date.
I have also return a python script that will delete the artifacts after calculating 3 months from the latest build
