Repository Overview (README excerpt)
Crawler view--- Renovate: The Kubernetes-Native Way Run [Renovate][1] on your own infrastructure with CRD-based scheduling, parallel execution, auto-discovery, and a built-in UI. If you self-host Renovate and already run Kubernetes, this operator gives you the control and observability that plain self-hosted setups lack. **Supports all Renovate platforms:** GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea, and more. The operator works with any [platform supported by Renovate][4] - simply configure your credentials and platform settings via environment variables or secrets. Note that some platforms have additional operator-specific features like native webhook integrations for GitHub and GitLab.
