+Run a registry:
+```
+docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry docker.io/registry:3.0.0-rc.2
+```
+
+Create a chart and values, push values to registry:
+```
+helm create oci-values-demo
+$ cat value-overides.yaml
+---
+replicaCount: 3
+$ oras push localhost:5000/oci-values-demo-values:demo value-overides.yaml:application/vnd.cncf.helm.values.v1
+```
+
+Install the chart, pulling values from OCI:
+```
+make && ./bin/helm upgrade --install oci-values-demo-release oci-values-demo/ -f oci://localhost:5000/oci-values-demo-values:demo
+```
