371 +There are 2 ways to "migrate" the repos:

373 -1. Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)
374 - You can modify the existing repository directly:
375 -Change the target to OCI Repository”.
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", other repos updates wont be working anymore and you will still need to create a new repo targeting each chartrepo.
374 +1. Or you can add new repositories one by one taking your time, while the old chartmuseum repo will still be functioning suring migraiton. For this, you can see the next described migration process.
375 +1. If you have a repo targeting multiple repos and need that the new OCI repo behaves as the previous one, please contact support for finding out the solution.

377 -* Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
378 -
379 -After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
380 -
381 -Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
382 -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”).
383 -The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
384 -
385 -1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended)
386 -
387 -This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function.
388 -You can:
389 -
390 -* Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
391 -* Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
392 -* Migrate applications gradually following the steps described in the main migration guide.
393 -
394 -This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
395 -
396 -Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos
397 -
398 -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.
