 You can configure how Renovate behaves with a `renovate.json` file in each target repo. Renovate will not run on a repo unless this file exists. By default, Renovate will attempt to "[onboard](https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#onboarding)" any new repo by creating a pull request to create the `renovate.json` file.
 
 For more information please refer to the [Renovate documentation](https://docs.renovatebot.com/).

+## Using Renovate for coop-cloud recipes

+If you store your recipe .env files in git, you can use Renovate to automatically bump recipe versions. To do this, add the following to the end of your `renovate.json` (courtesy of p4u1):

+The previous release used the "-full" renovate image which is 6 gigabytes
+but doesn't install tools at runtime. Apparently the docs discourage this, so
+this release moves to using the "non-full" image.
+
+When renovate detects e.g. a golang dependency, it will now download a golang toolchain
+and store it in a persistent volume. This means the total disk usage of the tool should
+be much lower for most users.
