After the migration is complete, **all charts will be removed from ChartMuseum**, and **old HTTP(S)-based chart repositories will no longer work in Rancher**. 372 + 373 +To ensure a smooth transition, each project should **add an OCI-based repository alongside the existing ChartMuseum repository** during the migration phase. 374 + 375 +We will make your charts available in the corresponding new `<pkey>-helm` OCI projects. 376 + 377 +--- 378 + 379 +## Terminology 380 +| Term | Meaning | 381 +|------|---------| 382 +| **Old Repository** | The existing HTTP/HTTPS ChartMuseum repository. | 383 +| **New Repository** | The new OCI-based Helm chart repository created for your project (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>` in `<pkey>-helm`). | 384 + 385 +--- 386 + 387 +## Why This Migration Is Required 388 +- ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed. 389 +- Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels. 390 +- Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions**. 391 + 392 +--- 393 + 394 +## Migration Steps 395 + 396 +### 1. Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher 397 +1. Go to **Apps → Repositories**. 398 +2. Add a new repository of type **OCI**. 399 +3. Name it exactly like your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>`). 400 +4. Point it to the new OCI endpoint. 401 + 402 +--- 403 + 404 +### 2. Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily 405 +This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo. 406 + 407 +1. Go to **Apps → Repositories**. 408 +2. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository. 409 +3. Keep it disabled until the migration is done. 410 + 411 +--- 412 + 413 +### 3. Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo 414 +Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. 415 +You must upgrade them once to transition. 416 + 417 +1. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**. 418 +2. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo. 419 +3. Click **Upgrade**. 420 +4. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**. 421 +5. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer). 422 +6. Click **Upgrade**. 423 + 424 +After this upgrade: 425 +- Your application is now linked to the **new OCI repository**. 426 +- Rancher will show upgrade notifications only for versions available in the new repo. 427 + 428 +--- 429 + 430 +### 4. Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) 431 +If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above. 432 + 433 +> 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. 434 + 435 +--- 436 + 437 +## Reverting the Migration (If Needed) 438 +If you want to move an app back to the old repository: 439 +1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo. 440 +2. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo. 441 +3. Open the application → **Upgrade**. 442 +4. Select the chart from the old repo. 443 +5. Save. 444 + 445 +This will reconnect the app to the old repository. 446 + 447 +--- 448 + 449 +## Summary 450 +- Add new OCI repo → disable old repo → upgrade apps → reconnect to OCI repo. 451 +- After upgrade, apps no longer track versions from the old repository. 452 +- Old repository will stop functioning after ChartMuseum shutdown, so migration is required. 453 + 454 +--- 455 + 456 +If you want, I can also generate: 457 +- a shorter version (1-pager), 458 +- a diagram, 459 +- a Rancher UI screenshot guide, 460 +- or a version tailored for your team’s internal wiki. 461 + 462 + 336 336 = Automated deployments with Jenkins = 337 337 338 338 In this section, we describe(% style="color:#172b4d" %) how to set-up **automated builds, tests and deployments** for Jenkins.
