++
++There are two ways to migrate your repositories:
++
++1. ##Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)##
++1*. Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
++1*. Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
++1*. After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
++1*. (% class="box" %)
++(((
++Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
++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”).
++The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
++)))
++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:
++1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
++1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
++1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
++1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
++1. //Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos//
++If your existing repository targets multiple chart repositories and you need the new OCI setup to behave the same way, please **contact support.**
++
++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

++| Term | Meaning
++| **Old Repository** | The existing HTTP/HTTPS Harbor ChartMuseum repository.
++| **New Repository** | The new OCI-based Helm chart repository created for your project (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>` in `<pkey>-helm`).
++
++##__**Why This Migration Is Required:**__##
++
++* ##ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.##
++* ##Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.##
++* ##Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions from new repository**.##
++
++## Migration Steps:##
++
++1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
++11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
++11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
++11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.
++11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
++1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily##
++##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
++11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
++11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
++11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
++
++1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
++Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
++11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
++11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
++11. Click **Upgrade**.
++11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.
++11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).
++11. Click **Upgrade**.
++1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
++If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
++**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
++
++----
++
++## Reverting the Migration (If Needed)
++If you want to move an app back to the old repository:##
++
++1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.
++1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
++1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
++1. Select the chart from the old repo.
++1. Save.
++
++This will reconnect the app to the old repository.
