Prerequisites

  • Dependabot is installed and enabled.
  • GitHub Actions is enabled and in use.

Adding self-hosted runners for Dependabot updates

  1. Provision self-hosted runners, at the repository or organization level. For more information, see Selbstgehosteten Runnern and Selbst-gehostete Runner hinzufügen.
  2. Configure your environment and runners to meet the requirements for Dependabot. See Requirements for using Dependabot with self-hosted runners.
  3. If you are configuring self-hosted runners for your organization, you can create and assign a custom label for your runners. Otherwise, if you are configuring self-hosted runners for a standalone repository, you need to apply the dependabot label. See Verwenden von Bezeichnungen mit selbstgehosteten Runnern.
  4. Optionally, enable workflows triggered by Dependabot to use more than read-only permissions and to have access to any secrets that are normally available. For more information, see Problembehandlung für Dependabot auf GitHub Actions.

Enabling self-hosted runners for Dependabot updates

Once you have configured self-hosted runners for Dependabot updates, you can enable or disable Dependabot updates on self-hosted runners at the organization or repository level.

Hinweis

Disabling and re-enabling the "Dependabot on self-hosted runners" setting does not trigger a new Dependabot run.

For your private repository

  1. Navigieren Sie auf GitHub zur Hauptseite des Repositorys.
