Are there any guides out there for this? I can’t seem to find anything. Renovates docs are good, but don’t have a lot of detail on setting up the docker image for self hosting.
Thanks!
I think that any guides you find for Gitea + Renovate should work still for Forgejo + Renovate.
I believe the process is:
- Create Forgejo instance
- Create a user for Renovate within Forgejo
- Using the CLI on your local machine (or another tool to complete this step), create an SSH public/private key for the Renovate user
- Log into Forgejo using the Renovate user and configure the previously created SSH keys and separately generate a Forgejo token
- Create a Renovate instance with settings for at least
RENOVATE_GIT_PRIVATE_KEY(SSH private key value),RENOVATE_TOKEN(Forgejo token value),RENOVATE_PLATFORM(gitea),RENOVATE_ENDPOINT(Forgejo API base URL), and any other Renovate settings that you may find helpful/necessary to configure (eg:GITHUB_COM_TOKEN,RENOVATE_AUTODISCOVER, etc.) - Depending on how you want things to work, you may need to give the Renovate Forgejo user access to individual repos

Makes a PR in a repo for updated versions. I.e. you have:
image: nginx:1And it’ll make a PR for the latest versionA CI/CD tool will monitor for changes like this and redeploy.
