Managing Alpine Linux Based Container Images With Renovate
With it's default configuration, Renovate does a great job of managing container
image tag updates. One limitation is that for updates that include an OS in the
tag, for example the Alpine Linux version in python:3.11.3-alpine3.17
,
Renovate will only update to Python image tags matching that version, which may
limit updates, and doesn't identify any OS updates. This post details how to
configure Renovate to work around that limitation for Alpine images.
