Renovate Demo

Authentication

You need to select a user account for renovate to assume the identity of, and generate a Personal Access Token. It is recommended to be @renovate-bot if you are using a self-hosted server and can pick any username you want. It is also recommended that you configure config.gitAuthor with the same identity as your Renovate user, e.g. like "gitAuthor": "Renovate Bot <[email protected]>".

GitLab CE/EE

First, create a personal access token for the bot account (select "api" scope). Configure it either as token in your config.js file, or in environment variable RENOVATE_TOKEN, or via CLI --token=. Don't forget to configure platform=gitlab somewhere in config.

Running with Docker

You need to create a file named config.js:

module.exports = {
  "token": "<your-personal-token",
  "repositories": [ // the repos you want to scan
    "lucas1sanz/renovate-demo"
  ]
};

Then run:

$ docker run --rm -v "/path/to/your/config.js:/usr/src/app/config.js" renovate/renovate
