There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.

If you're trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user account.

Hi! Unfortunately github messaged me a little while ago to tell me that the data repo wife the website had grown too large, and they disabled the repo before i had a chance to reduce the size.

There are a few steps I need to take to get the site back up:

1. create a new repo for the data
2. change the builder code to squash history or some similar space saving measure
3. pull the existing repo from the builders, upload it

Maybe other providers (gitlab or whatever else) allows more data?

[anp]

In this case I think the repo metadata size was the biggest concern which is harder to handle with any git host.

After having this sit for (quite) a while, I think the best path forward is going to be moving off of git for storing the data from runs. Will need some rework to change the runner over.

@anp any progress on this? Consider perhaps that self-hosted git (like @gitea) might work.

[mati865]

Alternatively Git LFS could be used.

Git LFS is very expensive on Github.

I don't think it'll be too hard to set up a file store or a database for the data -- it will just require modifying the lolbench code.

@anp - do you have any idea how much storage you'd need? I'm not sure if "too large" is measured in megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes etc.
