I’m having trouble staying on top of updates for my self hosted applications and infrastructure. Not everything has auto updates baked in and some things you may not want to auto update. How do y’all handle this? How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? Are there e.g. feeds for specific applications I can subscribe to via RSS or email?
dependabot is a tool for repos, not to apply local changes
I’m aware, but then you mentioned “manual changes”, which connotes “local changes”. Putting up a PR with changes isn’t considered a manual anything.
It doesn’t. Manual as in a PR with upgrades that you’re suggesting yourself, as opposed to running dependabot.
If I have to open a PR myself, that’s very much a manual change.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about now, so I’m going to stop responding. If Dependabot was already enabled for a project, you probably wouldn’t need to worry, so that negates this entire thread. 🙄
