Renovate's Node.js versioning is a wrapper around npm versioning. But Renovate removes any v prefixes from semantic versions when replacing.

Its primary purpose is to add Node.js LTS awareness, e.g.:

  • Odd releases are unstable
  • Even releases do not reach stability (LTS) immediately

You can not use node versioning to replace docker versioning if you are using node tags with suffixes like -alpine. This is because npm versioning treats these suffixes as implying pre-releases/instability.
