Can we increase the GitHub Actions cache size for a repo? #42506
-
Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyIs it possible to get a GitHub Actions cache size of greater than 10GB? Use case is a large (growing) monorepo with quite a few contributors. Although the repo is public/open-source, we'd be happy to pay. I have looked for previous threads and found some that touch on cache sizes, but none which explicitly ask whether it can be increased. Thank you! |

Hi there from the Actions team 👋 We are working on this ability. It should come early (Q1) next calendar year. |

Strongly agree! It will be extremely useful especially for container build cache :) |

A 10GB cache is too small for even one run of our workflows. This is badly needed. |

If anyone else stumbled upon this feature, it is already in planning/development and scheduled here: github/roadmap#1029 (comment) Now we just have to wait a bit! Thx @lkfortuna for the information! |

In case this helps someone, I wrote a github action for ZeroFS that can be used to achieve that. |

Is there an updated timeline, other than github/roadmap#1029 which has been pushed out by one quarter every quarter for a year now? |

Sorry it keeps getting pushed out! We are actually doing a private beta currently and when we have used that to get the load testing essentially done :) we plan to release publicly. I am far more confident of this date now.. as the work is actually done unless we hit load issues! Sorry for this one moving so much |

Considering that it comes out at $0.07 per GB per month it sounds like using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/zerofs-volume with cloudflare r2 at $0.015 per GB per month would be vastly cheaper. |
