I'm building a GitLab self-hosted instance for academical purpose, using GitLab CE, and I want to limit the space which stores each user.
I want to set a maximum size to store in a repository, which locks the uploads in case that user exceed the repository storage limit.
As this way, when this limit is get, the user only can remove files (or the content of these), but never upload new files or add new content
Are there any way to do this?
Sorry to say, this is not available in the Core (CE) version as you've noted. Repository limit is only available with a paid license.
Though you can see how it was implemented.
Finally, I solved It using a pre-receive hook in server-side.
The hook raise a bash script, which check the repository folder size using du -s and return 1 if this size exceeds the sizelimit
