#renovate #weather #GBSMedia
Earlier today I was wondering, can you use #renovate just to locally check for new dependency versions. Turns out yes, you just need some #jq magic to make the output digestible!
```
podman run \
--env=LOG_LEVEL=error \
--mount=type=bind,src=.,target=/usr/src/app \
--userns=keep-id \
--user=(id --user) \
docker.io/renovate/renovate renovate --platform=local --onboarding=false --report-type=file --report-path=/dev/stdout \
| jq '
(
.repositories.local.packageFiles.[][]
| {
file: .packageFile,
deps: [
.deps[]
| {
package: .packageName,
from: .currentValue,
repo: .sourceUrl,
url: .homepage,
updates: ([
.updates[]
| { to: .newVersion, date: .releaseTimestamp, type: .updateType }
])
}
| select((.updates | length) != 0)
]
}
| select((.deps | length) != 0)
),
{ ATTENTION: [.problems,.repositories.local.problems][][]}'
```

Getting Renovate to provide a changelog for digest updates to packages (on GitHub.com)
How to use the new templated `changelogUrl` functionality to provide more actionable changelogs for digest updates to i.e. GitHub Actions and other digest-pinned dependencies (in this example, on GitHub.com).https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.jvt.me/posts/2025/05/08/renovate-digest-changelog/

Erstmal earth groans auf die Ohren.

@herndlm I’ve got the same issue! And it’s annoying 😔 This is happening in an Azure pipeline. I’m now updating manually once a week. It’s not much work, but I hoped Renovate would do the job for me. NPM packages are updated correctly though.
On my Gitlab instance it’s behaving even more strange; although it’s not upgrading packages, but it’s not updating all the packages. Just a few and missing quite some. I’ve stopped reading the docs for the correct config.
TIL: #renovate self-hosted should be run with `allowPlugins` enabled if the #symfony framework is involved.
Turns out otherwise, flex is not active and composer would install, rightfully, the latest possible/allowed versions of indirect dependencies, potentially leading to getting updates with a mix of 6.4 and 7.2 packages 😓
See also https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#allowplugins and https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/pull/11990
For the #renovate and #symfony users: the next renovate should have a slightly better grouping rule for symfony packages.
https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/pull/34653
This should avoid renovate opening a PR with multiple symfony packages with different versions (e.g. a contract or flex package) which also leads to immutable PRs that cannot be closed.
@autoweirdfm @holgergp Da hast du schon recht: da hat sich viel gutes getan im Vergleich zu den frühen JS Tagen.
Ich habe vor allem #NodeJS/#NodeRed genutzt und da befinde ich mich schon öfter in Berechnungsproblemen oder in der Dependency Hell… ohne automatisierte Tests oder Tools wie #Renovate ist das aus meiner Hopfen und Malz verloren… im Frontend habe ich da wenig Erfahrungen.

Last week at the .NET meetup in Linz, I highlighted a challenge with .NET Aspire: lack of automatic updates for pinned container version. Now, with BoxerlRenovierer, Renovate manages Aspire containers seamlessly.
