Preset Flexibility

Tell us more.

I'd like to host my preset outside a repository and on an http server while having renovate create PR's on a supported platform. It seems like I'm only able to fetch presets from an http server when platform='local'. My use case requires platform='bitbucket-server' to make PR's in a supported repository. Unfortunately, teams using my framework team's preset are in different Bitbucket clusters so 'local>org/repo/preset.json' will not exist for them. We're also in the process of a migration to Github. Allowing a remote preset, agnostic to any platform, would prevent us from having to recreate the same preset in every cluster of both our Bitbucket Data Center and Github environments . Additionally, this preset entails packageRules for packages and allowedVersions my framework team recommends. Ideally, we'd like to host this preset on our API so that it can retrieve the latest package information.

Nvm I was wrong that setting platform='bitbucket-server' was mutually exclusive from using an http-hosted preset. I cloned the repo and am debugging it locally. My preset has to be hosted on https, requiring a self-signed cert. I tried setting the cert to an environment variable specified here: https://docs.renovatebot.com/examples/self-hosting/#renovate-nodejs-app. Does the http request fetching the preset include the cert? It doesn't appear so in lib/config/presets/http/index.ts but wanted to check to be sure.
