Self hosting

Violinist.io offers an on-prem / self hosted version of the update runners.

Advantages

The main reason for using a self hosted version would be access restrictions, or IT policies. For example:

  • Third party services are not allowed to be installed in the VCS provider organization (for example not allowed to use a github app)
  • Third party services are not allowed to access repository information or contents
  • The repository or some of the dependencies in the repository requires VPN or IP filtering to have access

If you are prevented from using the hosted (SaaS) version at violinist.io for one or more of these reasons, then self hosting the update runners might be a good fit for your organization.
