Forking Repman (our story)
· 3 min read
Following the release of PHP 8.5, we encountered some problems with Renovate Bot's dependency updates. It appeared that Renovate Bot was using the latest PHP version for running dependency upgrades, which caused quite a few dependency updates to fail.
Earlier this year we decided to test Renovate to manage automated dependency updates in our self-hosted GitLab environment. Being able to run Renovate in our own environment and configure it to our needs made a lot of sense. Since we run our internal tooling on a Nomad cluster, we had to configure a Nomad job for Renovate.
