The chart bundles nine independently versioned upstreams, and eight of them
were already pinned in values.yaml while only gluetun took its tag from
appVersion. That split had no upside: it made gluetun the one image Renovate
could not reach through the built-in helm-values manager, and it implied a
"main app" the stack does not have.
gluetun now carries gluetun.image.repository/tag like every other image, and
the StatefulSet renders it from there. No tag comes from appVersion any more.
Renovate picks all nine up through helm-values - the manager the repo already
relies on for sidecar images - and ci/renovate-bump-chart.sh bumps the chart
version with each update.
Consequences, all documented where they bite:
- renovate.json5 deliberately gets no app-version block for this chart. One
would either duplicate the helm-values updates or rewrite an appVersion that
selects no image. The absence is commented so it does not read as an
oversight.
- freesailarr leaves the change-app-version.yml choice list. That workflow
rewrites appVersion and republishes, which for this chart would change no
deployed image at all.
- appVersion becomes a hand-maintained marker for the gluetun line. Since
renovate-bump-chart.sh bumps the patch level on an unchanged appVersion, a
gluetun update has to be paired with a hand edit of appVersion, or the +up
suffix stops describing what the chart deploys. Noted in Chart.yaml,
values.yaml and README.
