versioning example for linuxserver/openssh-server in docs does not work

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

k3s with version 39.60.0

Please tell us more about your question or problem

I tried to use the last example from the docs regarding linuxserver/openssh-server: https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/versioning/regex/

My deployment contains this image definition:

image: lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server:9.7_p1-r4-ls179

my renovate.json uses the following package rule

        {
          "description": "Detect openssh-server image updates",
          "matchDatasources": ["kubernetes"],
          "matchPackageNames": ["lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server"],
          "versioning": "regex:^(?<major>\\d+)\\.(?<minor>\\d+)_p(?<patch>\\d+)-r(?<build>\\d)-ls(?<revision>.+)$"
        }

By now, ls180 is already available, so renovate should immediately detect an update. But nothing happens. The dependency dashboard mentions

lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server 9.7

So it seems, only the major and minor version are detected. For me, the regex looks fine. Is there some typo I did not recognize?

By the way, the docs contain a typo in matchPackageNamees (double e).

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.
2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the minimal reproduction in your own repository.
5. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md.
6. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.

If you need help with running renovate on your minimal reproduction repository, please refer to our Running Renovate guide.
Good luck,

The Renovate team

Hey there, I tried to test if the documentation is correct (notwithstanding typos) by creating a minimal reproduction repository. And renovate is able to propose a PR for 9.7_p1-r4-ls181 -> 9.7_p1-r4-ls182, showing that at least the regex is correct.

I don't use kubernetes, but I guess the reasons why yours don't work might be as below:

• There is no datasource called kubernetes (docs here). The kubernetes manager supports extracting the following datasources, docker and kubernetes-api, so the line "matchDatasources": ["kubernetes"], should be incorrect according to docs.
• The kubernetes manager has no fileMatch default patterns, so it won't match any files until you configure it with a pattern.. I can't see if you have configured such pattern from the renovate.json extract
• Also make sure that the correct image name is used in both the renovate.json and your kubernetes file (e.g. lscr.io vs ghcr.io

It'd be best to create a minimal reproduction as outlined from the above bot comment.

Anyway I'm planning to update that page of doc as per #33270 . Just seeking maintainers' opinion there. When updating the page I'll fix the typos too.
