Hi!

I'm running ECR pull through cache and I cache a lot of dockerhub images.
I want to use Renovate to lookup in dockerhub for the latest images tags but still use ECR URLs.

Here is my setup, after many trials/chatgpt'ing/docs research:

  "registryAliases": {
    "XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/": "index.docker.io"
  },

  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchDatasources": ["docker"],
      "registryUrls": ["https://index.docker.io"]
    }
  ]

At this moment, this is how the Dockerfile looks like..

FROM XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/traefik/whoami:v1.9

I tried with registryUrls alone, registryUrls with more match* conditions inside packageRules, tried registryAliases, different values for registryUrls, with regexes and just strings... everything that came to my mind.

Looks like Renovate is ignoring these parameters, for EVERY run I'm getting following result:

"config": {
  "dockerfile": [
    {
      "deps": [
        {
          "depName": "XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/traefik/whoami",
          "packageName": "XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/traefik/whoami",
          "currentValue": "v1.9",
          "replaceString": "XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/traefik/whoami:v1.9",
          "autoReplaceStringTemplate": "{{depName}}{{#if newValue}}:{{newValue}}{{/if}}{{#if newDigest}}@{{newDigest}}{{/if}}",
          "datasource": "docker",
          "depType": "final",
          "updates": [],
          "versioning": "docker",
          "warnings": [],
          "sourceUrl": "https://github.com/traefik/whoami",
          "registryUrl": "https://XXX.dkr.ecr.eu-central-2.amazonaws.com",
          "lookupName": "dockerhub/traefik/whoami",
          "currentVersion": "v1.9",
          "fixedVersion": "v1.9"
        }
      ],
      "packageFile": "Dockerfile"
    }
  ]
}

Is there any chance to get help on that? Is it a bug or configuration issue? :(

Hi there,

Please help this Discussion progress by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.
2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the reproduction in your own repository. Ensure it's actually minimal (no unnecesary dependencies or config), or it will be rejected by maintainers.
5. Install the Renovate app to verify that what you say happens (or doesn't happen) reproduces.
6. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md. What you describe there should reflect what you see in this repo, with the hosted app, and not what you saw in your original repo/environment.
7. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.
8. Add a Discussion comment mentioning that the reproduction repo is now available and linked.

If you need help with running Renovate on your minimal reproduction repository, please refer to our Running Renovate guide.
Good luck,

The Renovate team
