# Cloudsmith: Publish & Manage Helm Charts with OCI Support

You can now publish and manage Helm charts in Cloudsmith using modern OCI-based workflows. Charts pushed via Helm V3 to our OCI-compatible registry are correctly identified in the UI and supported through a new dedicated endpoint: [helm.oci.cloudsmith.io](). These improvements build on our full support for OCI v1.1 compliance and make adopting Helm’s latest distribution model easier.

### 🚀 What's Changed

Previously, Cloudsmith offered a Docker registry at docker.cloudsmith.io that was fully compliant with the OCI v1.1 standard. While users could push any OCI artifact to this registry, non-Docker artifacts were still displayed as Docker packages, making it harder to work with and manage your artifacts. **Now, both OCI-compliant and traditional (non-OCI) Helm charts are supported and clearly labeled in the UI, providing better visibility and smoother workflows.**

### Try it out

Here’s how to push a chart using Helm’s OCI support:

```json
{
  "_key": "2fd10cdbe0e4",
  "_type": "code",
  "code": "# add and update a helm repo + download a sample chart\nhelm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx\nhelm repo update\nhelm pull ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx\n\n# list the chart\nls ingress-nginx-4.12.3.tgz\n\n# Login to your OCI-compliant Helm repository in Cloudsmith\nhelm registry login helm.oci.cloudsmith.io -u USERNAME -P PASSWORD\n\n# Push the chart\nhelm push ingress-nginx-4.12.3.tgz oci://helm.oci.cloudsmith.io/OWNER/REPOSITORY",
  "filename": null,
  "language": "shell",
  "markDefs": null
}
```

While Cloudsmith OCI Registries are GA, our Helm OCI registry is in Early Access, so some Cloudsmith features like Helm OCI Upstreams aren't yet available. Please, contact [Support](/company/contact-us) if you want to try it out.
