Gitea: onboardingConfigFileName in .gitea Directory Not Supported

[mturekk]

Tell us more.

Should support for storing the Renovate repo configuration file in .gitea/renovate.json be supported the way it is for GitHub and GitLab?

This is not currently supported, and attempts to set onboardingConfigFileName: ".gitea/renovate.json" results in the following configuration validation warning

WARN: Config validation warnings found in config.js
       "warnings": [
         {
           "topic": "Configuration Error",
           "message": "Invalid value `.gitea/renovate.json` for `onboardingConfigFileName`. The allowed values are renovate.json, renovate.json5, .github/renovate.json, .github/renovate.json5, .gitlab/renovate.json, .gitlab/renovate.json5, .renovaterc, .renovaterc.json, .renovaterc.json5, package.json."
         }
       ]

I think we can support this. @viceice WDYT??

[viceice]

sure, but we need to refactor our code before. we should not support .gitea/xxx on github .....

So only .<platform>/renovate.json should be supported so this:

renovate/lib/config/app-strings.ts

Lines 4 to 7 in 75b29f1

	'.github/renovate.json',
	'.github/renovate.json5',
	'.gitlab/renovate.json',
	'.gitlab/renovate.json5',

needs to be replaced by a generic platform support.

Is there an issue ticket for this now?

I agree that it would be better to only use the folder on the correct platform, but what about adding the .gitea paths to the array until the refactor so people can start declutter their root path asap?
