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.

GitHub, v39.186

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Here' my config:

{
    "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
    "schedule": ["* * * * 1"],
    "prHourlyLimit": 10,
    "minimumReleaseAge": "7 days",
    "internalChecksFilter": "strict",
    "packageRules": [
       {
        "groupName": "playwright",
        "matchPackageNames": [
          "@playwright/test",
          "mcr.microsoft.com/playwright"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }

Today, Renovate created a PR to update mcr.microsoft.com/playwright to version v1.51.0-noble. This version was last published on 6th March (4 days ago) (https://mcr.microsoft.com/en-us/artifact/mar/playwright/tags). Why isn't "minimumReleaseAge": "7 days" followed? The npm package @playwright/test did not have a PR created, it was also published on 6th March.

docker datasource doesn't support release time stamps for arbitrary registries. only docker hub is supported.

[marcinjahn]

Is it something to work on on the Renovate side or is the MCR registry lacking some metadata?

@viceice @zharinov is this something we could now do with postprocessRelease()?
