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:
- Clone this repository and set it up on your own GitLab instance.
- Create a user for the bot and create and API access token.
- Go to Settings -> CI/CD -> Variables of your
renovate bot-repository. Add a variable calledRENOVATE_TOKENand fill it with the access token from step 2. - Setup a GitLab CI schedule for the
renovate bot-repository to run on a regular basis. - Grant your bot user access to repositories you want to have checked.
