Install docs for Helm/OCI get 403 error pulling chart

[eddiewebb]

Describe the bug
Following the Fabric install docs for helm, any commands using the documented OCI registry return a 403: denied error.

Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: GET "https://ghcr.io/v2/nginx/charts/nginx-gateway-fabric/tags/list": GET "https://ghcr.io/token?scope=repository%3Anginx%2Fcharts%2Fnginx-gateway-fabric%3Apull&service=ghcr.io": response status code 403: denied: denied

User is required to login, which should not be needed for public repo, or should be documented if expected.

echo "$SECRET" | helm registry login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run `helm install ngf oci://ghcr.io/nginx/charts/nginx-gateway-fabric --create-namespace -n nginx-gateway

Expected behavior
I expect that helm does not get a permission denied error

Your environment

• didnt get that far, basic helm commands fail locally
• Helm version 3.19

Hi @eddiewebb, the chart is publicly accessible and does not need any login or special permissions to pull. In the past I've seen this issue, and it usually was because a user had a local token or login session that was either stale or had some permission restriction that prevented them from being able to pull. Usually a logout, or resetting the login, fixed the issue if I remember correctly.

Thank you @sjberman , I found various projects also pointing to something quirky in GIthub artifact repo. Closing this.
