Renovate Bot
===
This repository is a GitLab repository to run Renovate Bot in a self-hosted GitLab instance via GitLab CI. It provides basic features for dependency updates.
Usage
---
On the SI-GitLab instance authorize the user Botaniker to have access to your repository. The current schedule for this to run is once a week. You'll get a setup MR from Botaniker within a week. Once it's merged, it'll automatically check your dependencies and inform you about updates.
If you want to run this on your own GitLab instance:
1. Clone this repository and set it up on your own GitLab instance.
2. Create a user for the bot and create and [API access token](https://git.shivering-isles.com/help/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md).
3. Go to Settings -> CI/CD -> Variables of your `renovate bot`-repository. Add a variable called [`RENOVATE_TOKEN`](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/master/docs/development/self-hosting.md#gitlab-ceee) and fill it with the access token from step 2.
4. Setup a [GitLab CI schedule](https://git.shivering-isles.com/help/user/project/pipelines/schedules.md) for the `renovate bot`-repository to run on a regular basis.
5. Grant your bot user access to repositories you want to have checked.
