Is LifecycleConfiguration working on DigitalOcean Spaces?

Posted on March 19, 2021

Hi,

I have about 16mil files (1 TB total) in DO space and I wanted to set expiration policy to delete all files older than 40 days. According to docs, DO Spaces should support LifecycleConfiguration, so that I set it for bucket using s3cmd:

s3cmd expire  s3://mybucket --expiry-days 40

The command was accepted and the rule was set:

s3cmd getlifecycle  s3://mybucket

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<LifecycleConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
	<Rule>
		<ID>bqwrg54gdyz5sn8gwkq9c6yqlcdvmalfkelpg82u6vl1nhrs</ID>
		<Prefix/>
		<Status>Enabled</Status>
		<Expiration>
			<Days>40</Days>
		</Expiration>
	</Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

However, 2 months passed and I checked the bucket again and I still can see files older than half year. So is this feature working? Is it limited to some specific datacenter or so?

Thanks,

Jindrich

I set like

<LifecycleConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
    <Rule>
        <ID>Expire 180</ID>
        <Prefix></Prefix>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Expiration>
            <Days>180</Days>
        </Expiration>
    </Rule>

    <Rule>
        <ID>Remove uncompleted uploads</ID>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Prefix/>
        <AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload>
            <DaysAfterInitiation>1</DaysAfterInitiation>
        </AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

s3cmd setlifecycle do_s3.xml s3://mybucket
