	375	+
	376	+There are two ways to migrate your repositories:
	377	+
	378	+1. ##Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)##
	379	+1*. Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
	380	+1*. Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
	381	+1*. After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
	382	+1*. (% class="box" %)
	383	+(((
	384	+Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
	385	+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”).
	386	+The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
	387	+)))
	388	+1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended), preserve the old one till the end. This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function. You can:
	389	+1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
	390	+1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
	391	+1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
	392	+1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
	393	+1. //Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos//
	394	+If your existing repository targets multiple chart repositories and you need the new OCI setup to behave the same way, please **contact support.**
	395	+
	396	+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

	398	+| Term | Meaning
	399	+| **Old Repository** | The existing HTTP/HTTPS Harbor ChartMuseum repository.
	400	+| **New Repository** | The new OCI-based Helm chart repository created for your project (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>` in `<pkey>-helm`).
	401	+
	402	+##__**Why This Migration Is Required:**__##
	403	+
	404	+* ##ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.##
	405	+* ##Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.##
	406	+* ##Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions from new repository**.##
	407	+
	408	+## Migration Steps:##
	409	+
	410	+1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
	411	+11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
	412	+11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
	413	+11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.
	414	+11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
	415	+1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily##
	416	+##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
	417	+11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
	418	+11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
	419	+11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
	420	+
	421	+1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
	422	+Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
	423	+11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
	424	+11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
	425	+11. Click **Upgrade**.
	426	+11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.
	427	+11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).
	428	+11. Click **Upgrade**.
	429	+1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
	430	+If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
	431	+**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
	432	+
	433	+----
	434	+
	435	+## Reverting the Migration (If Needed)
	436	+If you want to move an app back to the old repository:##
	437	+
	438	+1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.
	439	+1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
	440	+1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
	441	+1. Select the chart from the old repo.
	442	+1. Save.
	443	+
	444	+This will reconnect the app to the old repository.
