Docker container for Blinko making outbound connection to github

[woreibi]

Hi,
I noticed that blinko container keep trying to make connections to github after it has been deployed.
What is it trying to fetch or download from github after container is deployed ? I was expecting it NOT to make any connections outbound unless we use AI feature.

Appreciate clarification and feedback.

Thank you,

Hey @woreibi,

I'm here to assist you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you might have for Blinko. Let's get to the bottom of this together!

The Blinko codebase includes the @semantic-release/github plugin in its .releaserc.json configuration. This plugin is part of the Semantic Release toolchain, which can automatically create releases on GitHub and may make outbound connections to GitHub to perform these actions ^[1]. This could be a reason for the outbound connections you're observing. If you want to prevent these connections, you might consider reviewing the configuration related to Semantic Release or any other automated processes that could be triggering these connections.
