Common Admin Tasks for Repositories¶

Manually Force Delete Repository¶

In case of attached forks or pull-requests repositories should be archived. Here is how to force delete a repository and remove all dependent objects

# starts the ishell interactive prompt
$ rccontrol ishell enterprise-1

In [4]: from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
In [3]: repo = Repository.get_by_repo_name('test_repos/repo_with_prs')
In [5]: RepoModel().delete(repo, forks='detach', pull_requests='delete')
In [6]: Session().commit()

Below is a fully automated example to force delete repositories reading from a file where each line is a repository name. This can be executed via simple CLI command without entering the interactive shell.

Save the below content as a file named repo_delete_task.py

from rhodecode.model.db import *
from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
with open('delete_repos.txt', 'rb') as f:
    # read all lines from file
    repos = f.readlines()
    for repo_name in repos:
        repo_name = repo_name.strip()  # cleanup the name just in case
        repo = Repository.get_by_repo_name(repo_name)
        if not repo:
            raise Exception('Repo with name {} not found'.format(repo_name))
        RepoModel().delete(repo, forks='detach', pull_requests='delete')
        Session().commit()
        print('Removed repository {}'.format(repo_name))

The code above will read the names of repositories from a file called delete_repos.txt Each lines should represent a single name e.g repo_name_1 or repo_group/repo_name_2

Run this line from CLI to execute the code from the repo_delete_task.py file and exit the ishell after the execution:

echo "%run repo_delete_task.py" | rccontrol ishell enterprise-1

Bulk edit permissions for all repositories or groups¶

In case when a permissions should be applied in bulk here are two ways to apply the permissions onto all repositories and/or repository groups.

Start by running the interactive ishell interface

# starts the ishell interactive prompt
$ rccontrol ishell enterprise-1

2a) Add user called ‘admin’ into all repositories with write permission.: Permissions can be also repository.read, repository.admin, repository.none

n [1]: from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
n [2]: user = User.get_by_username('admin')
n [3]: permission_name = 'repository.write'
n [4]: for repo in Repository.get_all():
  ...:     RepoModel().grant_user_permission(repo, user, permission_name)
  ...:     Session().commit()

2b) Add user called ‘admin’ into all repository groups with write permission.: Permissions can be also can be group.read, group.admin, group.none

n [1]: from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
n [2]: user = User.get_by_username('admin')
n [3]: permission_name = 'group.write'
n [4]: for repo_group in RepoGroup.get_all():
   ...:     RepoGroupModel().grant_user_permission(repo_group, user, permission_name)
   ...:     Session().commit()

Delete a problematic pull request¶

n [1]: from rhodecode.model.pull_request import PullRequestModel
n [2]: pullrequest_id = 123
n [3]: pr = PullRequest.get(pullrequest_id)
n [4]: super_admin = User.get_first_super_admin()
n [5]: PullRequestModel().delete(pr, super_admin)
n [6]: Session().commit()
