What and why

Onboards this repo to the org-wide Renovate rollout. Adds renovate.json at the repo root extending the shared preset local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config (that preset ships in EduIDE/.github#4, not merged yet - Renovate will error on the preset lookup until it lands).

Two repo-specific adjustments on top of the preset:

  • postUpdateOptions: ["helmUpdateSubChartArchives"] - chart/charts/reposilite-1.3.25.tgz and chart/Chart.lock are both tracked in git (git ls-files chart/ confirms). Without this, a reposilite bump would edit Chart.yaml and leave the vendored archive and the lock digest stale.
  • Disable the helm-values dep for the gradle-cache image - chart/values.yaml sets image.repository: ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cache with tag: "", so the tag defaults to the chart version at release time. Renovate's helm-values manager does extract this dep, with currentValue: "", which is pure noise.
  • Disable chart/charts/** - defensive guard so vendored subchart archives are never treated as directly manageable. Nothing there is extracted today; the rule matters only if a subchart is ever vendored unpacked.

Also deletes .whitesource, a leftover from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial. There is no .github/dependabot.yml in this repo, so nothing to remove there.

No CI changes. docker-build.yml already runs on PRs and builds the image, which runs go build; chart-preview.yml covers chart/**. Deliberately not adding a go test step: this repo has zero *_test.go files across its 22 Go source files, and a green no-op test step would falsely imply coverage.

How it was verified

Everything below was actually run on this branch:

  • renovate-config-validator --strict (renovate@44.46.7), both with an explicit path and via auto-discovery - Config validated successfully against 1 file(s), exit 0.
  • renovate --platform=local --dry-run=extract against the working tree to confirm the rules match real dependencies rather than nothing. The helm-values manager extracts 2 deps from chart/values.yaml: ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cache (currentValue: "") and busybox:1.36 from the reposilite init container. helmv3 extracts reposilite 1.3.25 from chart/Chart.yaml with lockFiles: ["chart/Chart.lock"].
  • renovate --platform=local --dry-run=lookup with the same packageRules (extends stripped, since local> presets cannot resolve on the local platform) logs Dependency: ghcr.io/eduide/eduide-shared-cache/gradle-cache, is disabled - the rule matches.
  • cd src && go build ./... && go vet ./... - both exit 0, clean. (Local Go is 1.26.5; go.mod declares go 1.24.3.)
  • git ls-files chart/ - confirms chart/Chart.lock and chart/charts/reposilite-1.3.25.tgz are tracked.

Not verified: the actual preset resolution, because EduIDE/.github#4 is unmerged. First Renovate run after that merges is the real test.

Deployment impact

  • Changes a Helm chart (chart version bumped)
  • Changes a published image
  • Requires a config change in EduIDE-deployment
  • Requires a cluster-level change (CRDs, Gateway, ClusterRoles)
  • None of the above

Risk and rollback

Low. This PR only adds a bot config file and deletes a dead one - no application code, no chart, no workflow touched. Worst case is Renovate opening noisy or wrong PRs, which are reviewed individually before merge. Rollback is reverting this commit.

Known follow-up we are deliberately not fixing here: release.yml fires on push to main filtered by paths: chart/**, so a merged Renovate chart bump (reposilite subchart, Chart.lock, the .tgz) triggers chart-releaser without a version: bump in chart/Chart.yaml. chart-releaser will then either re-release the existing version or no-op. Needs a separate fix - either have Renovate bump the chart version too, or make release.yml skip when the version is unchanged.

A dependency-review check will start running on PRs here once EduIDE/.github#4 lands and the shared workflows are picked up.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Replaced the previous dependency scanning configuration with Renovate-based update management.
    • Enabled automated updates for supported dependencies while excluding intentionally managed Helm chart values and vendored subcharts.
    • Configured Helm subchart archives to update automatically after dependency changes.

Add a repo-level renovate.json extending the org preset in EduIDE/.github,
plus two repo-specific adjustments:

- postUpdateOptions: helmUpdateSubChartArchives, because both
  chart/charts/reposilite-1.3.25.tgz and chart/Chart.lock are tracked in
  git and must be regenerated whenever the reposilite subchart is bumped.
- Disable the helm-values dep for the gradle-cache image. values.yaml
  leaves image.tag empty on purpose so the tag defaults to the chart
  version at release time; there is nothing for Renovate to update.
- Disable chart/charts/** so vendored archives are never edited directly.

Remove .whitesource, a leftover from an abandoned Mend Bolt trial.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4a008

This PR adds a Renovate configuration that depends on EduIDE/.github#4, which is not yet merged; Renovate may fail to load the configuration until that prerequisite lands. Merge should wait for the shared preset and a target-platform validation run.

🌐 Web query:

Renovate local preset syntax local> platform local presets cannot be resolved visitedPresets.merged

💡 Result:

The error involving visitedPresets.merged is a general internal tracking mechanism within Renovate's preset resolution engine [1], which is often exposed when Renovate encounters a critical failure while trying to resolve a configuration preset [2][3]. When combined with the message that local> presets "cannot be resolved," it almost always indicates a context mismatch where Renovate is running in an environment that lacks access to the platform-specific API needed to fetch the preset [4][5][3]. Common Causes and Solutions: 1. Running with --platform=local If you are running Renovate locally (e.g., using renovate --platform=local or in a CI environment that defaults to local mode), Renovate cannot resolve local> presets because it does not have a "platform" context (such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) to perform API calls [4][2]. - Solution: You must either provide the necessary environment variables (like PLATFORM, ENDPOINT, and TOKEN) so Renovate can identify the host platform [5], or if you only need to validate config, use a tool specifically designed to handle local preset resolution [2]. 2. Missing Platform Credentials If you are running in a CI environment that is intended to communicate with a remote repository, the runner may lack the required authentication to access the repository hosting the local> preset [6][3]. - Solution: Ensure the Renovate instance is configured with a valid platform token that has permissions to access the private repository containing the preset [6]. 3. Misconfigured Preset Path Verify that the local> preset string follows the required syntax [7]. The standard format is local>owner/repository or local>owner/repository//path/to/preset. If you are using a tag, it should be appended with # (e.g., local>owner/repo#tag) [7]. If the path is not correctly formatted, Renovate will fail to locate the file, triggering a resolution error [7][3]. If you are performing configuration validation (e.g., renovate-config-validator) and hitting this error, it is a known limitation when the validator is run in an environment that cannot resolve the remote repository hosting the preset [3]. In this case, you may need to mock the environment or bypass the preset check during local validation [2].

Merge EduIDE/.github#4 before this change.

The target main branch does not contain renovate-config.json, so local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config can fail to resolve until pull request #4 merges. Then run Renovate on the target platform and confirm the preset appears in visitedPresets.merged. Do not use --platform=local.
