Hello,
I'm new to Renovate, and I'm trying the Self-Hosted Community Edition (from the "ghcr.io/mend/renovate-ce:13.4.0-full" docker image).

I started the Renovate journey by using the basic CLI, and I was able to configure some desired behaviour by using some environment variables:

• disable autodiscover: by setting the RENOVATE_AUTODISCOVER env variable
• provide a fixed repositories list: by setting the RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES env variable

Switching from CLI to the CE edition, it seems that the previous behaviours aren't supported and don't work like in the CLI.
I noticed that environment variables used before are ignored, and that all the repositories placed inside projects (for which the MEND_RNV_BITBUCKET_PAT is enabled) are processed.

At this point, I'm a little bit confused.
Is there a reason why the CE edition not behave like the CLI, or am I missing something within the configuration?

Thank you!

Not sure if you've seen this note in our docs, but the autodiscovery filter is intentionally server-side only

This is for a couple of reasons, but largely performance (unlike the CLI, CE is stateful, so it knows which repositories this will work out as)
