How do I handle docker tags with SHA1 hashes at the end?

How are you running Renovate?

A Mend.io-hosted app

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

One particular docker image has tags that look like this:

• release-1.41.1.9057-af5eaea7a
• release-1.40.2.8395-c67dce28e

I'm not able to figure out how to tell Renovate to process these versions. I have the following in my renovate.json5:

    {
      // hotio tags use a format like "release-4.0.4.1491"
      // See: https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/issues/7297
      //
      // Examples:
      // - release-1.40.2.8395-c67dce28e
      // - main-v1.52.8
      // - release-4.3.3
      "matchDatasources": ["docker"],
      "matchPackagePrefixes": [
        "ghcr.io/hotio/",
        "ghcr.io/berriai/"
      ],
      "versionCompatibility": "^(?<compatibility>[^-]+)-v?(?<version>.+)"
    },

In this case, when set at version release-1.41.1.9057-af5eaea7a, I do not get any upgrade PRs. The logs haven't been helpful in debugging the issue, but I feel like it's the -af5eaea7a at the end. I also tried loose versioning but I get wildly inaccurate upgrade PRs when I do that.

What am I missing?

I did this but with the version compatibility still in, and got some wildly inaccurate PRs.

I've already seen the linked page but there's no examples. No detailed explanation about the "loose" algorithm explaining how it works.

Looks like this solution doesn't work. Logs here
