Default config

{
  "commitMessageTopic": "helm values {{depName}}",
  "fileMatch": [
    "(^|/)values\\.ya?ml$"
  ],
  "pinDigests": false
}

Additional Information

Renovate supports updating of Docker dependencies within Helm Chart values.yaml files or other YAML files that use the same format (via fileMatch configuration). Updates are performed if the files follow the conventional format used in most of the Helm charts:

image:
  repository: 'some-docker/dependency'
  tag: v1.0.0
  registry: registry.example.com # optional key, will default to "docker.io"

image:
  repository: 'some-docker/dependency'
  version: v1.0.0

coreImage:
  registry: docker.io
  repository: bitnami/harbor-core
  tag: 2.1.3-debian-10-r38

If you need to change the versioning format, read the versioning documentation to learn more.
