How do I override the datasource to pick up dependencies from github-tags before registry url?

How are you running Renovate?

Mend Renovate hosted app on github.com

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

github

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Currently, I have an internal nexus host that is not open to the public. I don't want to self-host renovatebot to hit this host.

Instead, renovatebot has access to my repo called <org>/deploy which is a helm chart. There are releases and tags in that repo so I could use github-tags or github-releases data sources.

When I try to use these data sources, renovate continues to pick up the nexus registry url instead.

Renovate config

{
  $schema: "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  customManagers: [
    {
      customType: "regex",
      fileMatch: [".*/Chart.y[a]?ml$"],
      matchStrings: [
        "name:\\s+(?<depName>.*?)",
        "version: (?<currentValue>.*?)"
      ],
      datasourceTemplate: "github-tags",
      depNameTemplate: "org/{{{depName}}}",
      versioningTemplate: "semver"
    }
  ]
}

Here is my deploy/application/Chart.yaml in my org/service repo

apiVersion: v2
name: service

version: 0.0.1

dependencies:
  - name: deploy
    version: ~1.10.0
    repository: https://nexus.prod.example.com/repository/helm_charts/

and my deploy/application/Chart.lock in my org/service repo

dependencies:
- name: deploy
  repository: https://nexus.prod.example.com/repository/helm_charts/
  version: 1.10.1
digest: sha256:<snip>
generated: "2023-08-10T17:12:15.307546-05:00"

How do I make helmv3 use github-tags or how can I override my package to specifically use github-tags or github-releases ?

In my log when I run renovate locally, it picks up nexus because I'm on the VPN

             "packageFile": "deploy/application/Chart.yaml"
           },

If I'm not on the VPN, it doesn't pick up nexus, and it does not search github-tags or github-releases.

I found a way around this issue by

• hostRules to disable the host nexus.prod.example.com

    "hostRules": [
      {
        "matchHost": "nexus.prod.example.com",
        "enabled": false
      }
    ]

• customManagers to pick up the dependency (as shown above)

• ignoreDeps to disable the dependency but this does not remove the warning in the issue dashboard

    "ignoreDeps": [
      "deploy"
    ]

cc: @viceice I noticed the emote above. Should I rephrase the discussion original post?
