How to setup shareable organization config for 'bitbucket' platform?

[ablekhman]

We have self-hosted Renovate bot in our company. At the same time all our repos are hosted by Bitbucket Cloud. I cannot find a way to make shareable configs for our repositories.

Even if I use specific prefix for the location of preset config, it is ignored and the platform is used instead.

Here is the snippet of the config.js:

module.exports = {
    platform: 'bitbucket',
    ...
    onboardingConfig: {
        extends: [
            'github>username/renovate-config'
        ]
    }
}

The error message from the Renovate bot is: "Unsupported platform 'bitbucket' for local preset."

I tried replacing local with bitbucket-server or even github, but these locations are never checked. The error is always the same.

How can I share my configuration presets for Bitbucket Cloud platform?

If it is not supported, then how can I have configuration presets on a different platform from the target repos? Is publishing a npm package is the only option?

Local presets for Bitbucket cloud are currently not supported.

renovate/lib/config/presets/local/index.ts

Lines 22 to 39 in f18b7f3

	switch (platform.toLowerCase()) {
	case PLATFORM_TYPE_GITLAB:
	return gitlab.getPresetFromEndpoint(pkgName, presetName, endpoint);
	case PLATFORM_TYPE_GITHUB:
	return github.getPresetFromEndpoint(pkgName, presetName, endpoint);
	case PLATFORM_TYPE_BITBUCKET_SERVER:
	return bitbucketServer.getPresetFromEndpoint(
	pkgName,
	presetName,
	endpoint
	);
	case PLATFORM_TYPE_GITEA:
	return gitea.getPresetFromEndpoint(pkgName, presetName, endpoint);
	default:
	throw new Error(
	`Unsupported platform '${baseConfig.platform}' for local preset.`
	);
	}

try this:

onboardingConfig: {
    extends: [
        'github>username/renovate-config'
    ]
}

alternates are gitlab and gitea.

They need to be hosted on github.com, gitlab.com or gitea.com and readable by the bot of cause.
So i would suggest to use github, as you maybe already have a github token configured for changelogs.

I tried exactly this. I updated my original post to reflect this fact and to avoid confusion for other readers. The Renovate bot ignores this prefix and reports the same error about bitbucket being the wrong host for presets.

Ok, this config works, please check if it's an error or warning. I 'm pretty sure you havn't checked the logs arround that message, which is a warning, so you can ignore it.

[ablekhman]

Yes, it is a warning. But the end result is that the config is not picked up. I can see it by the results of the scan.

onboardingConfig config is only used in onboarding branch, which isn't updated by default. You need to force a rebase of the onboarding pr, so renovate will update the onboarding pr.

If your repo is already onboarded, you sould add the preset manually to the repo, eg:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": ["github>username/renovate-config"]
}
