Expire_in keep forever

GitLab CI/CD
1

Which keyword do I need to use in expire_in to keep an artifact forever?

2

Set it to 0.

You sure it works? In any case, there seems to be a feature request for this being worked on.

For GitLab.com the artifacts never expire, for your own instance there’s a setting in the admin area https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.html#default-artifacts-expiration.

I’m assuming it works the same for .gitlab-ci.yml :thinking:

Can you link to the issue?

I think @pmatos meant this issue here.

If you try:

expire_in: 0

or

expire_in: "0"

you get error “expire in should be a duration”.

There’s also issue to allow keeping the latest artifact forever, which would be great in some use cases.
