Caching

setup-trivy uses actions/cache under the hood but requires less configuration settings. This caches the trivy binary so that next time you run, instead of downloading the binary it is loaded from the cache. This is not the same cache as other Trivy artifacts such as trivy-db and trivy-java-db.

The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.

Caching is not supported for empty and latest versions!

Enable caching

If you want to enable caching for Linux and MacOS runners, set the cache input to true and specify the version.

steps:
  - name: Install Trivy
    uses: aquasecurity/setup-trivy@v0.2.2
    with:
      version: v0.56.2
      cache: true

Custom path to Trivy binary

action/cache doesn't support absolute path for Windows runners (see here for more details).

To enable caching for Windows runner or if you need to change the Trivy installation directory for other reasons - use path input.

setup-trivy adds trivy-bin directory to avoid caching unnecessary files

steps:
  - name: Install Trivy
    uses: aquasecurity/setup-trivy@v0.2.2
    with:
      version: v0.56.2
      cache: true
      path: "./bins"

Install Trivy with non-default token

There are cases when github.token (default value for actions/checkout) contains an invalid token for http://github.com. One of example for this when using GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES). See more info in https://github.com/aquasecurity/setup-trivy/issues/10

To properly install Trivy, you need to populate token from a secret or another step (e.g. from https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token)

steps:
  - name: Install Trivy
    uses: aquasecurity/setup-trivy@v0.2.2
    with:
      version: v0.56.2
      cache: true
      token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
