Optimize renovate image in renovate-scan pipeline

[Claudia Ballano Sanchez]

Hi team,

I have a question regarding the use of the renovate/renovate:37.6-full image in our Renovate scan pipeline. Is it necessary to continue using this specific version?

Additionally, is it possible to update to the latest image and potentially use a lighter version to optimize performance and reduce resource usage?

I'm getting a docker exceeded memory

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

[Ben]

Hi @Claudia Ballano Sanchez 

I have checked the commit history for the pipe and can see that the renovate version used is indeed 37.6-full.

I have shared your query with our pipes engineers and will get back to you once I have a response from them.

Just to clarify - do you mean a version of a smaller filesize without the "full" tag as per the existing tags in Dockerhub?

Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I noticed that the non-full images are smaller, with the full images being around 1.5 GB compared to approximately 328.47 MB for the others. Is there a specific reason for not choosing the smaller images? Additionally, is there any reason you haven’t switched to version 38 yet?

Thanks!

Hi @Claudia Ballano Sanchez 

Our pipes team have confirmed that they are working toward updating to a later version (version 38) and this should be in the next release - they are also in the process of investigating the memory limit issues. I don't have an ETA for this release.

In terms of the image size, this should not impact on the performance of the pipe. Although, we have raised a feature request to use the slim version of the image - you can Watch this for future updates:
