It is now possible to run Dependabot jobs on Depot GitHub Actions runners 🚀

By running Dependabot jobs on Depot runners, Dependabot's dependency resolution is accelerated like your regular workflows, with faster resolution times and increased CPU and memory resources.

In addition, you can leverage all of the other benefits of Depot GitHub Actions runners, such as:

  • Ultra Runners: 3x faster disk access with RAM disks baked in on the runner by default.
  • Faster caching: Unlimited cache storage with up to 1000 MiB/s upload and download speeds.
  • Unlimited concurrency: Run as many jobs as you need without worrying about hitting concurrency limits.
  • Real-time analytics: Monitor your Dependabot jobs in real-time with Depot's GitHub Actions dashboard.

To enable Dependabot to use Depot GitHub Actions Runners:

You must first enable Dependabot on self-hosted runners in your GitHub repository or organization settings (see GitHub's documentation).

Once you have enabled Dependabot on self-hosted runners, any Dependabot jobs will automatically run on depot-ubuntu-latest runners.

See our Dependabot documentation for more details.
