+#### Notes
+
+{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} works with any OCI-compliant registries that implement the Open Container Initiative (OCI) Distribution Specification. For more information, see [Helm Registry Login](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_registry_login/) in the Helm docs.

For more information, see [Token Authentication Specification](https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/auth/token/) in the Docker documentation and [Basic access authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) on Wikipedia.
+
+When configuring Dependabot for Helm charts, it will also automatically update the Docker images referenced within those charts, ensuring that both the chart versions and their contained images stay up to date.
+
+#### Limitations and workarounds
+
+* {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} only updates dependencies in `Chart.yaml` files.
+* Images in `values.yaml` files and `Chart.yaml` files are updated.
+* Helm dependency updates are first attempted via the Helm CLI, with fallback to searching `index.yaml`.
+* Images that have an array of versions in the YAML cannot be updated.
+* Image names may not always be detected in Helm files or YAML files.
+* For Helm v2 updates, use the [Docker ecosystem](#docker).

 ### Gradle
 
 {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} doesn't run Gradle but supports updates to certain Gradle files. For more information, see "Gradle" in [AUTOTITLE](/code-security/dependabot/ecosystems-supported-by-dependabot/supported-ecosystems-and-repositories#gradle).
