376 -There are two ways to migrate your repositories:

378 -1. ##Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)##
379 -1*. Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
380 -1*. Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
381 -1*. After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
382 -1*. (% class="box" %)

384 -Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
385 -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”).
386 -The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
387 -)))
388 -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:
389 -1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
390 -1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
391 -1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
392 -1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
393 -1. //Special Case: Old Repo Targeting Multiple Chart Repos//
394 -If your existing repository targets multiple chart repositories and you need the new OCI setup to behave the same way, please **contact support.**

396 -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

407 -##__**Why This Migration Is Required:**__##
408 -
409 -* ##ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.##
410 -* ##Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.##
411 -* ##Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions from new repository**.##

413 -## Migration Steps:##
414 -
415 -1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
416 -11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
417 -11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
418 -11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.
419 -11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
420 -1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily## 
421 -##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
422 -11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
423 -11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
424 -11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
425 -1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
426 -Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
427 -11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
428 -11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
429 -11. Click **Upgrade**.
430 -11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.
431 -11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).
432 -11. Click **Upgrade**.
433 -1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
434 -If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
435 -**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
436 -
437 -----
438 -
439 -## Reverting the Migration (If Needed)
440 -If you want to move an app back to the old repository:##
441 -
442 -1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.
443 -1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
444 -1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
445 -1. Select the chart from the old repo.
446 -1. Save.
447 -
448 -This will reconnect the app to the old repository.
