-## Package and Push Helm Chart (OCI)
+## Install from GHCR (Public OCI Registry)
+
+The chart is published to GitHub Container Registry as an OCI artifact by the
+`Release Helm Chart` workflow on every merge to `main` that bumps
+`Chart.yaml`'s `version`.
+
+Install directly (no `helm repo add` needed — Helm 3.8+ supports OCI natively).
+The chart's bundled `values.yaml` is applied automatically; you almost always
+want to layer your own overrides on top for API keys, image pull secrets,
+resource limits, etc.
+
+Quick start (accepts all chart defaults — fine for kicking the tyres, **not**
+production-ready since secrets are empty):
 
 ```bash
-HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 helm package . --destination /tmp/helm-packages
-HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 helm push /tmp/helm-packages/firecrawl-0.2.0.tgz oci://registry-1.docker.io/winkkgmbh
+helm upgrade --install firecrawl oci://ghcr.io/budecosystem/charts/firecrawl \
+  --version 0.2.0 \
+  -n firecrawl --create-namespace
 ```
 
-Install from OCI:
+Recommended (supply your own values file, e.g. a copy of `overlays/prod/values.yaml`):
 
 ```bash
-HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 helm upgrade --install firecrawl oci://registry-1.docker.io/winkkgmbh/firecrawl \
+# Inspect default values so you know what to override:
+helm show values oci://ghcr.io/budecosystem/charts/firecrawl --version 0.2.0 > my-values.yaml
+
+# Edit my-values.yaml, then install:
+helm upgrade --install firecrawl oci://ghcr.io/budecosystem/charts/firecrawl \
   --version 0.2.0 \
   -n firecrawl --create-namespace \
-  -f values.yaml \
-  -f overlays/prod/values.yaml
+  -f my-values.yaml
+```
+
+Pull the chart archive locally if you want to render templates offline:
+
+```bash
+helm pull oci://ghcr.io/budecosystem/charts/firecrawl --version 0.2.0
+```
+
+## Package and Push Helm Chart (Manual)
+
+The `Release Helm Chart` GitHub workflow publishes to GHCR automatically. Use
+the steps below only for ad-hoc publishing to a different OCI registry:
+
+```bash
+HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 helm package . --destination /tmp/helm-packages
+HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 helm push /tmp/helm-packages/firecrawl-0.2.0.tgz \
+  oci://<your-registry>/<namespace>
 ```
