Renovate is a tool used for automating dependency updates in software projects. It helps maintain and manage dependencies by automatically creating pull requests (PRs) to update libraries and modules to their latest versions. This ensures that your project stays up-to-date with the latest features, improvements, and security patches without manual intervention.

this is an example for pihole
this is a roundcubemail example with static version to be sure to stick on a version of mariadb
this is a more general version, netdata will upgrade quite everything in the repo
these are generic example, you must check the log of renovate to catch what is wrong, sometimes the version inside the build-images is not standard
the PR itself could bring you some lights
