Create Dependabot security update Fails - proxy | exec /bin/sh: exec format error

[michaelg-baringa]

I have setup a self hosted github runner on an AWS EC2 instance (Amazon Linux 2023) ARM64 which runs the hello world workflow fine. I have then enabled Dependabot Alerts on a test repo (Enabled Dependabot on self-hosted runners as well) and copied across the javascript folder from the Demo repo (https://github.com/dependabot/demo).

In my test repo I can then see 5 Vulnerability alerts and when I click Create Dependabot security update, it starts a workflow on the self hosted runner but errors out (see output below).

The issue was that I was using an ARM runner which is not supported so this can be closed
