	368	+# Migration Guide: ChartMuseum → OCI-based Chart Repositories in Rancher
370	370
371		-There are two ways to migrate your repositories:
	370	+## Overview
	371	+ChartMuseum is being deprecated. 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	372
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).
	373	+To ensure a smooth transition, each project should **add an OCI-based repository alongside the existing ChartMuseum repository** during the migration phase.
377	377
378		-After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
	375	+We will make your charts available in the corresponding new `<pkey>-helm` OCI projects.
379	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.

384		-1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended)
	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`). |
385	385
386		-This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function.
387		-You can:
	385	+---
388	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.
	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**.
392	392
393		-This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.

395		-Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos
	394	+## Migration Steps
396	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.
	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.

	420	+4. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.

421		-11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.
422		-11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.

436		-1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
	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.

	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.
