Gitlab Self-Hosted: ERROR: Uploading artifacts as "archive" to coordinator... too large archive

Some time ago, our Gitlab (self-hosted) instance started to throw errors that the archives are too big:

ERROR: Uploading artifacts as "archive" to coordinator... too large archive id=something responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large status=413 token=something FATAL: too large
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

The only resolution ideas we found was to set the max build artifact size (it's under /admin/application_settings). This did not work for us, the error still occurred.

In my case build was too large because of artifacts:untracked flag. Setting it to false solved the problem.

From gitlab official docs:

The maximum size of the job artifacts can be set at:

The value is in MB and the default is 100MB per job.

To change it at the instance level:

On the top bar, select Menu > Admin. On the left sidebar, select Settings > CI/CD. Change the value of maximum artifacts size (in MB). Select Save changes for the changes to take effect. Group level (this overrides the instance setting):

To change it at the group level:

Go to the group’s Settings > CI/CD > General Pipelines. Change the value of maximum artifacts size (in MB). Select Save changes for the changes to take effect. Project level (this overrides the instance and group settings):

To change it at the project level:

Go to the project’s Settings > CI/CD > General Pipelines. Change the value of maximum artifacts size (in MB). Select Save changes for the changes to take effect.

The solution to this issue is to set the max build artifact size (under /admin/application_settings) and to increase the Gitlab NGINX client_max_body_size property in the configuration file to something higher.
