Description

Motivation

As part of #138029 support for git caching was included in os-autoinst covering test distributions as well as wheel repository. We can now look into caching test distributions from git fully enabled on a production openQA instance but also considering the worker cache service, e.g. circumvent the worker cache service or actually make use of it.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: There is no redundant syncing in the worker cache service, e.g. no cloning from github but the worker cache syncs test data that is never used

Suggestions

  • See what has been done in #154156
  • Consider the impact of the worker cache service, e.g. take a look into logs of affected openQA jobs and see how caching and git caching interact or not interact
  • One simple approach could be to simply not trigger syncing the worker test distribution directory caching in openQA jobs that have GIT_CACHE_DIR+CASEDIR+NEEDLESDIR includes a git URL set
  • Checkout the documentation of the worker cache to get started: https://open.qa/docs/#asset-caching
    • Consider adding something to the docs to make "worker cache" more discoverable
    • Add GIT_CACHE_DIR to the docs

Out of scope

  • Manage storage capacity long-term / clean-up

The follow-up PR https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5499 was merged yesterday and hasn't caused any big regressions anymore so far. So I consider this ticket resolved.
