Prerequisites
- Dependabot is installed and enabled.
- GitHub Actions is enabled and in use.
Adding self-hosted runners for Dependabot updates
- Provision self-hosted runners, at the repository or organization level. For more information, see Executores auto-hospedados and Adicionar executores auto-hospedados.
- Configure your environment and runners to meet the requirements for Dependabot. See Requirements for using Dependabot with self-hosted runners.
- 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
dependabotlabel. See Usar rótulos com os executores auto-hospedados. - 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 Como solucionar problemas do Dependabot no 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.
