This supports both `gitlab.com` and self-hosted GitLab.
Details for how it works can be found in the project.

#### Mend Renovate Community Edition / Enterprise Edition
#### Mend Renovate Self-Hosted (Community Edition / Enterprise Edition)

Mend Renovate Self-Hosted Community Edition (sometimes "Renovate CE"/"CE") and Enterprise Edition (sometimes "Renovate EE"/"EE") are closed-source offerings of Renovate for self-hosted users.

Mend Renovate Community Edition (Renovate CE) and Enterprise Edition (Renovate EE) are closed-source offerings of Renovate for self-hosted users.
Renovate CE and Renovate EE have support for GitHub (both `github.com` and GitHub Enterprise Server) as well as GitLab self-hosted.
It is built similarly to the default "full" Renovate image described above, but with these differences:

- It is a stateful app and does not exit after processing all repositories
- It is installed as an App on GitHub, and behaves similarly on GitLab - for example responding to webhooks
- It includes a priority job queue which prioritizes events like merged PRs over scheduled jobs
- It is released every 1-2 months in a slower, more stable cadence than Renovate OSS, which releases on every commit
- It's licensed using an end-user license agreement (EULA) and not the Affero General Public License (AGPL)
- It is released every 2 weeks in a slightly slower and more stable cadence than Renovate OSS, which releases on every commit
- It's licensed using an end-user license agreement (EULA) and not the Affero General Public License (AGPL-3.0-only)

Plus, the Enterprise Edition has:

- Horizontal scaling to run multiple 'worker' containers
- Dedicated support from Mend.io
- Premium features, including Smart Merge Control

Mend Renovate Self-Hosted CE and EE have support for GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, and Bitbucket Data Center.

Go to the Mend.io website to learn more about [Renovate Enterprise Edition](https://www.mend.io/renovate-enterprise/).

To learn how to configure Renovate CE or Renovate EE, read the documentation on the public GitHub repository [`mend/renovate-ce-ee`](https://github.com/mend/renovate-ce-ee).
