Please tell us more about your question or problem

I'm trying to set up a packageRule to control the update schedule for our internal Helm charts, which are hosted at http://kubernetes-charts.some-domain.com. My goal is to have Renovate check for updates to these specific charts only on the 10th day of the month.

I tried adding the following rule to my configuration:

  "packageRules": [
    {
      "description": "Update internal helm charts regularly, but not immediately when a new version is released",
      "matchDatasources": ["helm"],
      "registryUrls": ["http://kubernetes-charts.some-domain.com"],
      "schedule": ["on the 10th day of the month"]
    }
  ]

My expectation was that this rule would match Helm dependencies from that registryUrls and apply the schedule only to them.

However, I'm seeing an unintended side effect: Renovate now appears to be forcing all Helm chart lookups (including public charts) to go through our internal registry. This is causing failures for any public charts (e.g., from https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx, etc.) as they obviously don't exist in our internal repository.

(See attached logs for examples of these failed lookups.)

Is this the correct way to apply a schedule based on a chart's repository URL? How can I scope this scheduling rule only to charts from my internal registry without breaking the lookup for all other public Helm charts?

Thanks for any help!
