Hi there

I would like to implement the following thing:

{
    "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
    "extends": [
        "config:base",
        "mergeConfidence:all-badges",
        "gitlab>mygroup/renovate-configurations"
    ],
    "rebaseWhen": "auto",
    "automerge": true,
    "automergeType": "branch",
    "prHourlyLimit": 20,
    "prConcurrentLimit": 30
}

in the repo mygroup/renovate-configurations I have a default.json configuration. I would like to extend my configuration with the default.json how can I do that?

the default.json looks like

{
    "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
    "extends": [
        "config:base",
        "mergeConfidence:all-badges",
        "gitlab>mygroup/renovate-configurations//labels"
    ],
    "rebaseWhen": "auto",
    "automerge": true,
    "automergeType": "branch",
    "prHourlyLimit": 20,
    "prConcurrentLimit": 30
}

Is there a way better way to extend these?
I also wanna use these templates on a different gitlab instance without having to copy those configs to the gitlab instance. Is there a way to extend those across gitlab instances?

Assuming you have set the correct environment variables for using your self-hosted GitLab instance (RENOVATE_PLATFORM, RENOVATE_ENDPOINT), it should work if you use 'local>path-to-repo' instead of 'gitlab>path-to-repo'.

In you case this would mean your config should look something like this:

{
    "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
    "extends": [
        "config:base",
        "mergeConfidence:all-badges",
        "local>mygroup/renovate-configurations"
    ],
    "rebaseWhen": "auto",
    "automerge": true,
    "automergeType": "branch",
    "prHourlyLimit": 20,
    "prConcurrentLimit": 30
}

Incase of a different gitlab instance, it's not supported .

But you can use http> to get the file directly if it's an http server ref
