garbage-collect

Perform garbage collection on Pulp data.

Garbage collection consists of deleting temporary Pulp repositories (created by certain tools) older than a certain age. Future versions of this command may also perform other types of garbage collection.

This command is suitable for use periodically; for example, from a weekly scheduled trigger.

                                     [--gc-threshold GC_THRESHOLD]
                                     [--arc-threshold ARC_THRESHOLD]

Example

A typical invocation of garbage-collect would look like this:

pubtools-pulp-garbage-collect \
  --pulp-url https://pulp.example.com/ \
  --pulp-user admin \
  --pulp-password XXXXX \
  --gc-threshold 14

In this example, temporary repositories older than 2 weeks would be deleted from the remote Pulp server.
