I encountered and resolved this issue. Here is my workaround:

Problem

In order for the renovate-bot to access the web, I created a docker image with these environment variables:

ARG RENOVATE_VERSION=latest

FROM renovate/renovate:${RENOVATE_VERSION}

# Changes to the certificate authority require root permissions
USER root

ENV HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128
ENV HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy:3129
ENV NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1,localhost,my-gitlab

When renovate-bot attempts to connect to the Maven repositories (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/***/maven-metadata.xml), the following error appears:

Unsupported `GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY` configuration value: URL protocol must be \"http:\".","stack":"RequestError: Unsupported `GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY` configuration value: URL protocol must be \"http:\".

Solution

Even though I didn't understand this commit, I noticed that the two proxy variables were not being treated completely separately.

With varenv defined as follows, I managed to solve my problem:

ENV HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128
# ENV HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy:3129
ENV NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1,localhost,my-gitlab
