Has anyone used the github actions hosted dependabot beta for private hex repositories? We would love dependabot to notify application owners in our org when another team updates their libraries.
Unfortunately, am getting 403s every time dependabot attempts to check our private hex.
From the logs, Dependabot is showing the following:
proxy | 2020/07/13 16:25:22 403 https://repo.hex.pm:443/repos/us/packages/ourpackage
The relevant portions of our .github/dependabot.yml are:
version: 2
updates:
# Keep mix dependencies up to date
- package-ecosystem: "mix"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "weekly"
assignees:
- "OURORG/ourteam"
labels:
- "dependabot-update"
rebase-strategy: "disabled"

Roadmap: Dependabot version updates: support for private registries (Cloud Beta) · Issue #67 · github/roadmap · GitHub
TL;DR: Private registries are currently not available for dependabot with elixir, but are scheduled on the roadmap

Excellent. I hopped onto the Twitter thread!

I poked Bruce Williams on twitter, maybe he knows who can help!

Private hex repos used to work before Dependabot moved to GitHub. Now it appears they have added private access for a variety of package managers, but not Elixir

I’m running into the same issue. I can see that there is support for private hex repos, but since Dependabot moved to Github, its unclear what I need to do to grant it access.
Did you end up figuring this issue out @bjornrud ?
