Bitbucket Server Support

Unsupported platform features/concepts

• Adding assignees to PRs not supported (does not seem to be a Bitbucket concept)
• Adding/removing labels (Bitbucket limitation)

Features awaiting implementation

• Creating issues not implemented yet, used to alert users when there is a config error
• The automergeStrategy configuration option has not been implemented for this platform, and all values behave as if the value auto was used. Renovate will implicitly use the merge strategy configured as 'default' in the Bitbucket Server repository itself, and this cannot be overridden yet

Testing

If you want a test Bitbucket server locally rather than with your production server, Atlassian's Bitbucket Server Docker image is really convenient.

In line with their instructions, the following commands bring up a new server:

docker volume create --name bitbucketVolume
docker run -v bitbucketVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket --name="bitbucket" -d -p 7990:7990 -p 7999:7999 atlassian/bitbucket-server:5.12.3

Once it's running and initialized, the quickest way to testing with Renovate is:

1. Create the admin user as prompted
2. Create a new project and a repository for that project
3. Make sure the repository has a package file in it for Renovate to find, e.g. .nvmrc or package.json
4. Create a dedicated Renovate user @renovate-bot and grant it write access to the project
5. Note down the password for @renovate-bot and use it in the Renovate CLI

At this point you should have a project ready for Renovate, and the @renovate-bot account ready to run on it. You can then run like this:

yarn start --platform=bitbucket-server --endpoint=http://localhost:7990 --git-fs=http --username=renovate-bot --password=abc123456789! --log-level=debug --autodiscover=true

Alternatively using env:

export RENOVATE_PLATFORM=bitbucket-server
export RENOVATE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:7990
export RENOVATE_GIT_FS=http
export RENOVATE_USERNAME=renovate-bot
export RENOVATE_PASSWORD=abc123456789!
export LOG_LEVEL=debug
yarn start --autodiscover=true

You should then get a "Configure Renovate" onboarding PR in any projects that @renovate-bot has been invited to.
