Upload Helm charts to the OCI registry

You can use an Artifactory local repository to push Helm charts using Helm OCI.
To upload a Helm chart to an Artifactory OCI registry:
In this example, you will upload a Helm Chart called helmpack to a Helm OCI local repository.

1. Create a local Helm OCI repository, say helm-oci-local, in the Artifactory

2. Log in to your Helm OCI client using the helm registry login command:

Make sure to replace the placeholder in bold with your own JFrog host domain.

helm registry login <YOUR_JFROG_DOMAIN>

For example:

$ helm registry login acme.jfrog.io
Username: admin
Password:
       Login Succeeded

3. Push the chart to the Helm OCI repository using the helm push command:
Make sure you add the oci:// prefix to the Artifactory repository URL to force the Helm chart to wrap the artifact as OCI.

Make sure to replace the placeholders in bold with your Helm chart .TGZ file, URL, and desired repository path.

helm push <HELM_CHART_TGZ_FILE> oci://<URL>/<REPOSITORY>

For example:

$ helm push helmpack-0.2.0.tgz 
oci://acme.jfrog.io/helm-oci-local/mycharts
        Pushed: acme.jfrog.io/helm-oci-local/mycharts/helmpack:0.2.0

4. You can find the OCI image deployed in the local Helm OCI repository

User-added image

5. You can install the same chart using the Helm OCI command.
Make sure to replace the placeholders in bold with your deployment name, domain name, and OCI image path.

helm install <DEPLOYMENT_NAME> oci://<YOUR_JFROG_DOMAIN>/<REPOSITORY_KEY>/<CHART_NAME>

For example:

$ helm install helmpack-chart oci://acme.jfrog.io/helm-oci-local/mycharts/helmpack
