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

Testing

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

As per 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 receive a "Configure Renovate" onboarding PR in any projects that @renovate-bot has been invited to.
