The `circleci` manager extracts both `docker` as well as `orb` datasources from CircleCI config files.
If you need to change the versioning format, read the [versioning](https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/versioning/) documentation to learn more.
+
+### Private orbs
+
+To get private orbs working you should:
+
+1. Encrypt your CircleCI token with the [Renovate encryption page](https://app.renovatebot.com/encrypt)
+1. Create a new `hostRules` entry in your Renovate config file
+1. Put the encrypted token in the `token` field
+
+The end-result should look like this:
+
+```json
+{
+ "hostRules": [
+ {
+ "matchHost": "circleci.com",
+ "authType": "Token-Only",
+ "encrypted": {
+ "token": "****"
+ }
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+This config strips the Bearer/Basic prefix from the `authorization` header.
