Artifactory::Cleaner

Artifactory Cleaner is a tool for managing Artifactory repositories with a focus on analyzing and optimizing storage usage within Artifactory. Artifactory::Cleaner can be used as a Gem inside other Ruby automation, and also includes a command-line interface (CLI) which can be used inside an interactive terminal session or incorporated into other automation workflows.

Installation

To use as a CLI command:

The gem can be installed using rubygems:

sudo gem install artifactory-cleaner

This will install the artifactory-cleaner command.

Full usage information is available using artifactory-cleaner help

The artifactory-cleaner CLI interface follows the same format as git: artifactory-cleaner command [options]

Commands available are:

• artifactory-cleaner archive Given a specific set of criteria (and optionally a set of filters) download all artifacts from specified repos to the local filesystem. Note: this will cause the last_downloaded date of all the artifacts which are archived to be updated to the time the command is run, so they may no longer match your search criteria on a subsequent run
• artifactory-cleaner clean delete old artifacts which meet a specific set of criteria (and optionally a set of filters) from a given set of repos, with the ability to archive them to the local filesystem. This is Artifactory::Cleaner's primry function: to reduce disk space usage by deleting old, unnecessary artifacts.
• artifactory-cleaner list-repos provides information about available repositories in Artifactory. Can be used in pipelines with the -H flag, or can be used to query repository information in human-readable columns.
• artifactory-cleaner usage-report analyze artifacts and produce a report detailing usage breakdown by date ranges, optionally producing a detailed YAML report of all artifacts meeting search criteria

Authentication and Configuration

In order for artifactory-cleaner to know which Artifactory server to communicate with and how to authenticate, either command-line arguments may be used, or (preferably) a configuration filr may be specified using the -c / --conf-file switch.

If using command line arguments, --endpoint can be used to specify the HTTPS URL of the Artifactory API, and --api-key can be used to specify the API key. Be aware

To use as a gem:

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'artifactory-cleaner'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install artifactory-cleaner

Usage

Execute artifactory-cleaner help for a usage statement

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
