343 +The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
344 +)))
345 +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:
346 +1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
347 +1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
348 +1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
349 +1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.

386 -## Why This Migration Is Required
387 -- ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.
388 -- Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.
389 -- Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions**.##
366 +## Migration Steps:##
390 390  
391 ------
368 +1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
369 +11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
370 +11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
371 +11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). __**You can't name it the same and can't rename it later.**__
372 +11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
373 +1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily## 
374 +##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
375 +11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
376 +11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
377 +11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
378 +[[image:1765548124989-482.59.06.png||height="152" width="485"]]
379 +1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
380 +Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
381 +11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
382 +11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
383 +11. Click **Edit/Upgrade**.
384 +[[image:1765548598644-830.png||height="138" width="811"]]
385 +11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**. Or enter the chart name in search bar:
386 +[[image:1765548750604-334.png||height="293" width="308"]]
387 +11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).
388 +11. Click **Upgrade**.
389 +1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
390 +If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
391 +**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

440 440  1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.

443 -4. Select the chart from the old repo.
444 -5. Save.
396 +1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
397 +1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
398 +1. Select the chart from the old repo.
399 +1. Save.

450 -## Summary
451 -- Add new OCI repo → disable old repo → upgrade apps → reconnect to OCI repo.
452 -- After upgrade, apps no longer track versions from the old repository.
453 -- Old repository will stop functioning after ChartMuseum shutdown, so migration is required.##

457 -If you want, I can also generate:
458 -- a shorter version (1-pager),
459 -- a diagram,
460 -- a Rancher UI screenshot guide,
461 -- or a version tailored for your team’s internal wiki.
