Push and pull Helm charts as OCI artifacts using GHCR and the Helm OCI registry support

domain: helm.sh/docs/topics/registries · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Enable OCI support in your Helm client (enabled by default in Helm v3.8+; verify with `helm version`)
  2. Authenticate to GHCR: `echo YOUR_TOKEN | helm registry login ghcr.io --username YOUR_GITHUB_USER --password-stdin`
  3. Package your chart locally: `helm package ./mychart` — this produces a `.tgz` archive
  4. Push the chart to GHCR: `helm push mychart-<version>.tgz oci://ghcr.io/YOUR_ORG` — Helm stores it as an OCI artifact under the chart name and version as the tag
  5. Pull and install from OCI: `helm install myrelease oci://ghcr.io/YOUR_ORG/mychart --version <version>`
  6. List available versions by querying the GHCR package API or using `crane ls ghcr.io/YOUR_ORG/mychart` (from the crane CLI)
