371 +There are two ways to migrate your repositories:

373 -1. You can do direct transition and edit already existing repository – choose //Target: OCI repository, //adapt the url as shown above (__repo name can't be changed__), then the installed apps will pick app the repo change automatically. The issue is that the OCI repository needs to target chart repos in the url, not the whole folder anymore.  That means if you previously deployed previously different apps using the old repo, for example "bitbucket" and "jira", now you can only target one repo, for example "bitbucket", you will still need to create a new repo targeting "jira".

373 +1. Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)
374 + You can modify the existing repository directly:
375 +11.Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
376 +11.Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
375 375  
378 +After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
379 +
380 +Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
381 +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”).
382 +The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
383 +
384 +1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended)
385 +
386 +This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function.
387 +You can:
388 +
389 +* Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
390 +* Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
391 +* Migrate applications gradually following the steps described in the main migration guide.
392 +
393 +This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
394 +
395 +Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos
396 +
397 +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.

376 376  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
