# Build artifacts administration
>**Notes:**
>- Introduced in GitLab 8.2 and GitLab Runner 0.7.0.
>- Starting from GitLab 8.4 and GitLab Runner 1.0, the artifacts archive format
changed to `ZIP`.
>- This is the administration documentation. For the user guide see

Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a build
after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all
GitLab installations. Keep reading if you want to know how to disable it.
## Disabling build artifacts
To disable artifacts site-wide, follow the steps below.
---
**In Omnibus installations:**
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following line:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
---
**In installations from source:**
1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` and add or amend the following lines:
```yaml
artifacts:
enabled: false
```
1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
## Storing build artifacts
After a successful build, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing the build
artifacts to GitLab.
To change the location where the artifacts are stored, follow the steps below.
---
**In Omnibus installations:**
_The artifacts are stored by default in
`/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts`._
1. To change the storage path for example to `/mnt/storage/artifacts`, edit
`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following line:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['artifacts_path'] = "/mnt/storage/artifacts"
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
---
**In installations from source:**
_The artifacts are stored by default in
`/home/git/gitlab/shared/artifacts`._
1. To change the storage path for example to `/mnt/storage/artifacts`, edit
`/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` and add or amend the following lines:
```yaml
artifacts:
enabled: true
path: /mnt/storage/artifacts
```
1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
## Set the maximum file size of the artifacts
Provided the artifacts are enabled, you can change the maximum file size of the
artifacts through the [Admin area settings](../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#maximum-artifacts-size).
[reconfigure gitlab]: restart_gitlab.md "How to restart GitLab"
[restart gitlab]: restart_gitlab.md "How to restart GitLab"
## Storage statistics
You can see the total storage used for build artifacts on groups and projects
in the administration area, as well as through the [groups](../api/groups.md)
and [projects APIs](../api/projects.md).

Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a job
after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all
GitLab installations. Keep reading if you want to know how to disable it.
## Disabling job artifacts

1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
## Storing job artifacts
After a successful job, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing the job
artifacts to GitLab.
To change the location where the artifacts are stored, follow the steps below.
---
**In Omnibus installations:**
_The artifacts are stored by default in

## Storage statistics
You can see the total storage used for job artifacts on groups and projects
in the administration area, as well as through the [groups](../api/groups.md)
and [projects APIs](../api/projects.md).
## Implementation details
When GitLab receives an artifacts archive, an archive metadata file is also
generated. This metadata file describes all the entries that are located in the
artifacts archive itself. The metadata file is in a binary format, with
additional GZIP compression.
GitLab does not extract the artifacts archive in order to save space, memory
and disk I/O. It instead inspects the metadata file which contains all the
relevant information. This is especially important when there is a lot of
artifacts, or an archive is a very large file.
When clicking on a specific file, [GitLab Workhorse] extracts it
from the archive and the download begins. This implementation saves space,
memory and disk I/O.

# Introduction to build artifacts
>**Notes:**
>- Since GitLab 8.2 and GitLab Runner 0.7.0, build artifacts that are created by
GitLab Runner are uploaded to GitLab and are downloadable as a single archive
(`tar.gz`) using the GitLab UI.
>- Starting from GitLab 8.4 and GitLab Runner 1.0, the artifacts archive format
changed to `ZIP`, and it is now possible to browse its contents, with the added
ability of downloading the files separately.
>- The artifacts browser will be available only for new artifacts that are sent
to GitLab using GitLab Runner version 1.0 and up. It will not be possible to
browse old artifacts already uploaded to GitLab.
>- This is the user documentation. For the administration guide see
[administration/build_artifacts.md](../../../administration/build_artifacts.md).
Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a build
after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all GitLab installations.
## Defining artifacts in `.gitlab-ci.yml`
A simple example of using the artifacts definition in `.gitlab-ci.yml` would be
the following:
```yaml
pdf:
script: xelatex mycv.tex
artifacts:
paths:
- mycv.pdf
```
A job named `pdf` calls the `xelatex` command in order to build a pdf file from
the latex source file `mycv.tex`. We then define the `artifacts` paths which in
turn are defined with the `paths` keyword. All paths to files and directories
are relative to the repository that was cloned during the build.
For more examples on artifacts, follow the artifacts reference in
[`.gitlab-ci.yml` documentation](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifacts).
## Browsing build artifacts
When GitLab receives an artifacts archive, an archive metadata file is also
generated. This metadata file describes all the entries that are located in the
artifacts archive itself. The metadata file is in a binary format, with
additional GZIP compression.
GitLab does not extract the artifacts archive in order to save space, memory
and disk I/O. It instead inspects the metadata file which contains all the
relevant information. This is especially important when there is a lot of
artifacts, or an archive is a very large file.
---
After a build finishes, if you visit the build's specific page, you can see
that there are two buttons. One is for downloading the artifacts archive and
the other for browsing its contents.
![Build artifacts browser button](img/build_artifacts_browser_button.png)
---
The archive browser shows the name and the actual file size of each file in the
archive. If your artifacts contained directories, then you are also able to
browse inside them.
Below you can see how browsing looks like. In this case we have browsed inside
the archive and at this point there is one directory and one HTML file.
![Build artifacts browser](img/build_artifacts_browser.png)
---
## Downloading build artifacts
>**Note:**
GitLab does not extract the entire artifacts archive to send just a single file
to the user. When clicking on a specific file, [GitLab Workhorse] extracts it
from the archive and the download begins. This implementation saves space,
memory and disk I/O.
If you need to download the whole archive, there are buttons in various places
inside GitLab that make that possible.
1. While on the pipelines page, you can see the download icon for each build's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Build artifacts in Pipelines page](img/build_artifacts_pipelines_page.png)
1. While on the builds page, you can see the download icon for each build's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Build artifacts in Builds page](img/build_artifacts_builds_page.png)
1. While inside a specific build, you are presented with a download button
along with the one that browses the archive:
![Build artifacts browser button](img/build_artifacts_browser_button.png)
1. And finally, when browsing an archive you can see the download button at
the top right corner:
![Build artifacts browser](img/build_artifacts_browser.png)
## Downloading the latest build artifacts
It is possible to download the latest artifacts of a build via a well known URL
so you can use it for scripting purposes.
The structure of the URL is the following:
```
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/builds/artifacts/<ref>/download?job=<job_name>
```
For example, to download the latest artifacts of the job named `rspec 6 20` of
the `master` branch of the `gitlab-ce` project that belongs to the `gitlab-org`
namespace, the URL would be:
```
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/builds/artifacts/master/download?job=rspec+6+20
```
The latest builds are also exposed in the UI in various places. Specifically,
look for the download button in:
- the main project's page
- the branches page
- the tags page
If the latest build has failed to upload the artifacts, you can see that
information in the UI.

Jobs permissions should be tightly integrated with the permissions of a user
who is triggering a job.
The reasons to do it like that are:
- We already have a permissions system in place: group and project membership

- We already know what user is allowed to do.
- We use the user permissions for builds that are triggered by the user.

- It opens a lot of possibilities to further enforce user permissions, like
allowing only specific users to access runners or use secure variables and
environments.

# Introduction to job artifacts
>**Notes:**
>- Since GitLab 8.2 and GitLab Runner 0.7.0, job artifacts that are created by
GitLab Runner are uploaded to GitLab and are downloadable as a single archive
(`tar.gz`) using the GitLab UI.
>- Starting with GitLab 8.4 and GitLab Runner 1.0, the artifacts archive format
changed to `ZIP`, and it is now possible to browse its contents, with the added
ability of downloading the files separately.
>- Starting with GitLab 8.17, builds are renamed to jobs.
>- The artifacts browser will be available only for new artifacts that are sent
to GitLab using GitLab Runner version 1.0 and up. It will not be possible to
browse old artifacts already uploaded to GitLab.
>- This is the user documentation. For the administration guide see
[administration/job_artifacts.md](../../../administration/job_artifacts.md).
Artifacts is a list of files and directories which are attached to a job
after it completes successfully. This feature is enabled by default in all
GitLab installations.
## Defining artifacts in `.gitlab-ci.yml`
A simple example of using the artifacts definition in `.gitlab-ci.yml` would be
the following:
```yaml
pdf:
script: xelatex mycv.tex
artifacts:
paths:
- mycv.pdf
```
A job named `pdf` calls the `xelatex` command in order to build a pdf file from
the latex source file `mycv.tex`. We then define the `artifacts` paths which in
turn are defined with the `paths` keyword. All paths to files and directories
are relative to the repository that was cloned during the build.
For more examples on artifacts, follow the artifacts reference in
[`.gitlab-ci.yml` documentation](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifacts).
## Browsing job artifacts
After a job finishes, if you visit the job's specific page, you can see
that there are two buttons. One is for downloading the artifacts archive and
the other for browsing its contents.
![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button.png)
---
The archive browser shows the name and the actual file size of each file in the
archive. If your artifacts contained directories, then you are also able to
browse inside them.
Below you can see how browsing looks like. In this case we have browsed inside
the archive and at this point there is one directory and one HTML file.
![Job artifacts browser](img/job_artifacts_browser.png)
---
## Downloading job artifacts
If you need to download the whole archive, there are buttons in various places
inside GitLab that make that possible.
1. While on the pipelines page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Job artifacts in Pipelines page](img/job_artifacts_pipelines_page.png)
1. While on the **Jobs** page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Job artifacts in Builds page](img/job_artifacts_builds_page.png)
1. While inside a specific job, you are presented with a download button
along with the one that browses the archive:
![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button.png)
1. And finally, when browsing an archive you can see the download button at
the top right corner:
![Job artifacts browser](img/job_artifacts_browser.png)
## Downloading the latest job artifacts
It is possible to download the latest artifacts of a job via a well known URL
so you can use it for scripting purposes.
The structure of the URL is the following:
```
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/builds/artifacts/<ref>/download?job=<job_name>
```
For example, to download the latest artifacts of the job named `rspec 6 20` of
the `master` branch of the `gitlab-ce` project that belongs to the `gitlab-org`
namespace, the URL would be:
```
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/builds/artifacts/master/download?job=rspec+6+20
```
The latest builds are also exposed in the UI in various places. Specifically,
look for the download button in:
- the main project's page
- the branches page
- the tags page
If the latest job has failed to upload the artifacts, you can see that
information in the UI.
