How can I set the expiration time for artifacts in Bitbucket Downloads?

[Mikołaj Waśniewski]

I want to automatically delete artifacts in Bitbucket Downloads after 7 days. How can I do that?

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

@Mikołaj Waśniewski We had the same use case, and we built the following solution:

1. Create a new Pipeline 
2. The Pipeline can get the list of the artifacts using the Bitbucket Cloud REST API
3. It can test if an artifact is "too old", and delete that using another REST API end-point

It is really just a few line of code. Then, you just have to run this pipeline periodically and you're done.

(In our case, it is just one step in a complete pipeline which is executed at each commit, but the core is roughly the same as yours. And it has been working reliably for us for a few years.)

Artifacts expiry is not configurable for the default 14 days in the Bitbucket cloud. We do have a feature request on this at:

Ability to set expiration period for artifacts 

Please Vote and Watch the feature request to make sure you won't miss any updates in the future if the feature is accepted.

Hello @Syahrul 

Does this 14 days expiration period apply also to artifacts in Bitbucket Downloads? (which can be i.e. uploaded manually)

[Syahrul]

Hey @Mikołaj Waśniewski 

Artifacts do not expire if you upload them on the Downloads tabs.

Thanks @Syahrul ,

So is there any size limit for artifacts stored in Download tab?

[Syahrul]

Hey @Mikołaj Waśniewski 

The artifact limit is 1 GB, and the upload limit for the Download tab section is 2 GB.

You can only generate artifacts up to 1 GB in size to upload to the Downloads section. So technically you can upload only 1 GB artifacts to Downloads.

Hi @Syahrul , Is there a way to upgrade the artifact limit from 1GB to 5GB?

[Syahrul]

Hey @yosser_mahfoudh 

Unfortunately, that is the current hard limit. If you require bigger storage for artifacts, we recommend that you use your own storage solution, such as Amazon S3, or a hosted artifact repository like JFrog Artifactory.

how to implement that in my pipeline. Because what I have now is storing my executable in the artifacts then copy its content to S3.

Hey @yosser_mahfoudh 

Please check our guide below on how to publish and link your artifacts to AWS or S3:
