With the growing number of consumers relying on the Planka project, it's essential to maintain its security and reliability. While leveraging GitHub's built-in package audit feature is a good start, configuring automated package updates through Dependabot GitHub Actions (GHA) can further enhance the project's robustness.

Hi! Thank you for your comment. We get Dependabot alerts and try to monitor dependencies, but at the same time, we can't fully automate this process, because every time we also need to check what the update includes (it might have new vulnerabilities, backdoors, etc.), so we update them manually. There was also an issue with Dependabot where some PRs had a completely different version of a dependency that could cause the app to crash, but this may have been fixed long ago and we need to try again.
