@Marco Franssen @Chengwei Guo Can the three of us get together and figure out exactly what we need to get Renovate up and working? I don't think we need to install the Renovate application since we're running Renovate self-hosted in CI. I think we just need credentials. Sound right?
m
Yeah maybe just using github.token is sufficient
can try in my fork

just to clarify, we want to use https://github.com/marketplace/actions/create-github-app-token to avoid install renovate to the organization. To use the
create-github-app-token
we need to register it as a personal github app. Do I understand it correctly?
m
With my suggestion no app is required if that works.
Will try tomorrow morning
Seems we have already tried that approach with
github.token
it has too few permissions. So what we need to do is following: https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token
I can brew a PR, but someonw with the reight permissions to register the app in the repo should create the variable and secret in the settings.
j
Looks good -- maybe @Chengwei Guo has the permissions we need to create the variable/key.
c
i feel a little bit confused. the
create-github-app-token
requires us to create a new github app, and we need to create it in the organization right?
I have no access to the organization, but i can try to create one under my own account to test.
if we end up with installing an app to the repo, maybe we just contact the organization owner and install the innovate github app. 👀
m
yeah guess that might work
