Question

How can we configure gitlab to keep only the last 10 CI jobs/builds and keep deleting the rest?

For example , in Jenkins , we can configure the job to keep only last X builds.

Answer 1

UPDATE

As of Gitlab Release 12.6, deleting a pipeline is now an option in the GUI for owners:

• Click the pipeline you want to remove in the pipelines list
• Hit the red Delete button in the upper right of the pipeline details page.

As of Gitlab Release 11.6, deleting a pipeline is now an option, for maintainers only, via the API.

You need:

• An API token
• The id of the project
• The pipeline_id of the pipeline you wish to remove.

Example using curl from the docs for project id: 1 and pipeline_id: 4:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --request "DELETE" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/pipelines/46" 

Documentation is here

Mass deletion script fixed for the lazy, delete X pipelines from the oldest.

Note: need jq.

#!/bin/bash set -e  TOKEN="" PROJECT="" # How many to delete from the oldest. PER_PAGE=100  for PIPELINE in $(curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOKEN" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$PROJECT/pipelines?per_page=$PER_PAGE&sort=asc" | jq '.[].id') ; do     echo "Deleting pipeline $PIPELINE"     curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOKEN" --request "DELETE" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$PROJECT/pipelines/$PIPELINE" done
