Automatic file cleanup

Overview

When FILE_CLEANUP_ENABLED is set, Reducto records the keys of every object written to customer storage and automatically deletes any object that is older than the configured retention window (default 60 minutes). The cleanup runs as part of the hourly cleanup.py cronjob. Note: Because cleanup is performed hourly, the minimum effective retention interval is 60 minutes (1 hour).

Configuration

Variable	Description	Default
`FILE_CLEANUP_ENABLED`	Set to any value to enable automatic deletion of stored objects.	–
`FILE_RETENTION_MINUTES`	Retention window in minutes before an object is permanently removed. The minimum is 60 minutes (1 hour), as cleanup runs hourly.	`60`

Example:

export FILE_CLEANUP_ENABLED=1
export FILE_RETENTION_MINUTES=120  # keep files for two hours
