Comment on Forgejo fills up hard drive with repo-archives

  I have nothing against bots per se, they help to spread the word about my open source code which I want to share with others.

  It's just unfortunate that forgejo fills up the hard drive to such an extend and doesn't quite let you disable this archive feature.

    Are you saying if someone (such as a scraper) tries to download a snapshot, forgejo makes a disk file containing the snapshot, sends it, and keeps it around forever? That sounds crazy to me and I’d open a bug or try to fix it.

      It makes a zip file and a tarball, and keeps them for cached for other people to download in the future.
