The tree was a debranded snapshot of upstream taken around 2026-02-20, and upstream has moved about five months since. This replaces it with upstream master, mechanically re-derived: bin/debrand does the rename, and the pipeline and squashed migrations are restored from the shipped tree. Not a merge. The previous import replaced the tree wholesale in a single commit, so there is no shared content history to merge against. Reproducing the rename on the new tree is what actually converges. What survives: .hanzo/workflows, the Dockerfiles and bin/docker* entrypoints, compose files, LLM.md, and insights/migrations. The squashed initial migration is load-bearing — the live database records it by name, so upstream's ~918 individual migrations cannot come back. Nine products are dropped as unreferenced. Twenty-one more that we do not run are kept anyway because the core app still imports them; unpicking those is a refactor and does not belong in a rebase. This base does not build yet, and the reasons are not in the rename: upstream now wants Python 3.13.13 against our 3.12.12 and Django 5.2 against our 4.2, and the dependency manifests still name upstream packages that we republish under our own names. Those are decisions, not renames.

| depot-github-runners | Configures Depot-managed GitHub Actions runners as a drop-in replacement for GitHub-hosted runners. Use when setting up or migrating GitHub Actions workflows to use Depot runners, choosing runner sizes (CPU/RAM), configuring runs-on labels, setting up ARM or Windows or macOS runners, troubleshooting GitHub Actions runner issues, configuring egress filtering, using Depot Cache with GitHub Actions, or running Dagger/Dependabot on Depot runners. Also use when the user mentions depot-ubuntu, depot-windows, depot-macos runner labels, or asks about faster/cheaper GitHub Actions runners. |
Depot GitHub Actions Runners
Depot provides managed, ephemeral, single-tenant GitHub Actions runners. Drop-in replacement for GitHub-hosted runners — change the runs-on label and everything else stays the same.
Requirement: Repository must be owned by a GitHub organization (not a personal account).
Setup
- Depot dashboard → GitHub Actions → Connect to GitHub → Install Depot GitHub App
- For public repos: GitHub org settings → Actions → Runner groups → Default → "Allow public repositories"
- Update
runs-onin your workflow files
Org Context Check for Multi-Org Users
If a user belongs to multiple organizations and expected repos/settings/runners are not visible, verify Depot org context first:
depot org show # Current org ID
depot org list # Orgs the user belongs to
depot org switch <org-id> # Optional: set default org
For commands that support it, pass --org <org-id> to target the org where the workflow/repo lives.
Runner Labels
Use a single label. Format: depot-{os}-{version}[-{arch}][-{size}]
Ubuntu (Intel x86 — AMD EPYC)
| Label | CPUs | RAM | Disk | $/min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
depot-ubuntu-24.04 |
2 | 8 GB | 100 GB | $0.004 |
depot-ubuntu-24.04-4 |
4 | 16 GB | 130 GB | $0.008 |
depot-ubuntu-24.04-8 |
8 | 32 GB | 150 GB | $0.016 |
depot-ubuntu-24.04-16 |
16 | 64 GB | 180 GB | $0.032 |
depot-ubuntu-24.04-32 |
32 | 128 GB | 200 GB | $0.064 |
depot-ubuntu-24.04-64 |
64 | 256 GB | 250 GB | $0.128 |
Ubuntu 22.04 also available: depot-ubuntu-22.04, depot-ubuntu-22.04-4, etc.
Ubuntu (ARM — Graviton4)
Same sizes and pricing as Intel. Add -arm suffix:
depot-ubuntu-24.04-arm, depot-ubuntu-24.04-arm-4, depot-ubuntu-24.04-arm-8, etc.
Windows Server
| Label | CPUs | RAM | $/min |
|---|---|---|---|
depot-windows-2025 |
2 | 8 GB | $0.008 |
depot-windows-2025-4 |
4 | 16 GB | $0.016 |
depot-windows-2025-8 through -64 |
8–64 | 32–256 GB | $0.032–$0.256 |
Windows Server 2022 also available: depot-windows-2022, etc.
Windows limitation: No Hyper-V. Docker does not work on Windows runners.
macOS (Apple M2)
| Label | CPUs | RAM | $/min |
|---|---|---|---|
depot-macos-15 / depot-macos-latest |
8 | 24 GB | $0.08 |
depot-macos-14 |
8 | 24 GB | $0.08 |
macOS is NOT fully elastic — fixed pool with FIFO queuing. Startup plan+ only.
Aliases
depot-ubuntu-latest → Ubuntu 24.04, depot-windows-latest → Windows 2025, depot-macos-latest → macOS 15
Migration Example
jobs:
build:
# Before:
# runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# After:
runs-on: depot-ubuntu-24.04-4
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm ci
- run: npm test
Common Mistakes
# ❌ WRONG — multiple labels cause stability issues
runs-on: [self-hosted, depot-ubuntu-24.04]
# ✅ CORRECT — always use a single Depot runner label
runs-on: depot-ubuntu-24.04-4
Caching
Actions using the GitHub Actions cache API automatically use Depot Cache — no config changes needed. This includes actions/cache, actions/setup-node, actions/setup-python, actions/setup-java, and any action using @actions/cache.
Pre-configured build tool caches (zero config on Depot runners):
| Tool | What's pre-configured |
|---|---|
| Turborepo | TURBO_API env var set — just run turbo build |
| Bazel | ~/.bazelrc pre-populated — just run bazel build //... |
| sccache | SCCACHE_WEBDAV_ENDPOINT set — use RUSTC_WRAPPER: 'sccache' |
| Maven | settings.xml pre-populated (cache id depot-cache) |
| Pants | pants.toml pre-configured — just run pants package :: |
| moonrepo | Env vars set — just run moon run build |
Cache behavior: repository-scoped, no branch isolation, encrypted, up to 1000 MiB/s throughput, configurable retention (7/14/30 days).
To disable auto-cache: org settings → turn off "Allow Actions jobs to automatically connect to Depot Cache."
Dagger Integration
Deprecated: Dagger Engine support on Depot GitHub Actions Runners is being deprecated and will be removed in a future update. Don't recommend this integration for new workflows.
runs-on: depot-ubuntu-latest,dagger=0.15.1
Launches a dedicated Dagger Engine VM with persistent NVMe cache. Dagger CLI pre-installed. Additional $0.04/min.
Egress Filtering (Linux Only)
Configure in org settings → GitHub Actions Runners → Egress Rules. Set default rule to Allow or Deny, then add specific allow/deny rules for IPs, CIDRs, or hostnames. Not supported on macOS or Windows. Incompatible with Tailscale.
Access Private Endpoints with Tailscale
Use Tailscale when jobs need to reach private services (internal APIs, databases, private subnets) without static IP allowlists.
How it works on Depot:
- Depot GitHub Actions runners join your tailnet as ephemeral nodes at job start.
- Access is controlled with your Tailscale ACLs (recommended tag:
tag:depot-runner). - No workflow YAML changes are required just to connect runners to private endpoints.
Setup:
- In Tailscale ACLs, create a runner tag (for example
tag:depot-runner) undertagOwners. - Create a Tailscale OAuth client with
Keys > Auth Keyswrite scope and choose that tag. - In Depot org settings, open Tailscale settings and connect using the OAuth client ID/secret.
- Add ACLs allowing
tag:depot-runnerto access target hosts/subnets.
ACL examples:
{
"acls": [
{
"action": "accept",
"src": ["tag:depot-runner"],
"dst": ["database-hostname"]
}
]
}
{
"acls": [
{
"action": "accept",
"src": ["tag:depot-runner"],
"dst": ["192.0.2.0/24:*"]
}
]
}

Dependabot
Enable "Dependabot on self-hosted runners" in GitHub org settings. Jobs auto-run on depot-ubuntu-latest.
Important: OIDC is not supported for Dependabot. Use token: input with a DEPOT_TOKEN secret instead.
SSH Debugging
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: mxschmitt/action-tmate@v3
- run: npm test
Troubleshooting
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
| "No space left on device" | OS uses ~70 GB disk; upgrade to larger runner or clean disk in workflow |
| "Lost communication with server" | Check status.depot.dev; check org usage caps |
| "Operation was canceled" | Manual cancel, concurrency cancel-in-progress, or OOM — check memory in dashboard |
| "Unable to get ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL" | Dependabot doesn't support OIDC — use DEPOT_TOKEN secret |
| Workflows not starting | Verify single runner label; check runner group allows the repo; verify Depot GitHub App permissions |
| Stuck workflows | Force cancel via GitHub API: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{id}/force-cancel |
