368 +ChartMuseum is being deprecated. After the migration is complete, **all harbor charts will be removed from ChartMuseum**, and **old HTTP(S)-based chart repositories will no longer work in Rancher (for internal harbor charts)**.

370 +
371 +There are two ways to migrate your repositories:
372 +
373 +1. ##Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)##
374 +11. Change the target to “OCI Repository”.

376 +(((
377 +Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
378 +After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
379 +Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
380 +If your old repository included several charts (for example “bitbucket” and “jira”), then after switching to OCI you can only target one chart (e.g. “bitbucket”).
381 +The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
382 +)))
383 +1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended)
384 +
385 +This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function.
386 +You can:
387 +
388 +* Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
389 +* Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
390 +* Migrate applications gradually following the steps described in the main migration guide.
391 +
392 +This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
393 +
394 +Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos
395 +
396 +If your existing repository targets multiple chart repositories and you need the new OCI setup to behave the same way, please contact support. OCI does not support multi-chart endpoints within a single repository, and we can help you find an appropriate solution.
397 +
398 +To ensure a smooth transition, we recommend to **add an OCI-based repository alongside the existing ChartMuseum repository** during the migration phase. If you don't w

404 +
405 +| Term | Meaning
406 +| **Old Repository** | The existing HTTP/HTTPS Harbor ChartMuseum repository.
407 +| **New Repository** | The new OCI-based Helm chart repository created for your project (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>` in `<pkey>-helm`).
408 +
409 +##__**Why This Migration Is Required:**__##
410 +
411 +* ##ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.##
412 +* ##Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.##
413 +* ##Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions from new repository**.##
414 +
415 +## Migration Steps:##
416 +
417 +1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
418 +11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
419 +11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
420 +11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.
421 +11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
422 +1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily## 
423 +##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
424 +11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
425 +11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
426 +11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
427 +1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
428 +Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
429 +11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
430 +11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
431 +11. Click **Upgrade**.
432 +11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.
433 +11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).
434 +11. Click **Upgrade**.
435 +1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
436 +If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
437 +**Note:** Even if a newer chart version exists in the old repository, your migrated app **will not see it**, because it is no longer connected to that repo
438 +
439 +----
440 +
441 +## Reverting the Migration (If Needed)
442 +If you want to move an app back to the old repository:##
443 +
444 +1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.
445 +1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
446 +1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
447 +1. Select the chart from the old repo.
448 +1. Save.
449 +
450 +This will reconnect the app to the old repository.
