ESS Community Helm Chart 26.8.1 (2026-08-21)

Removed / Breaking Changes

Removed matrixRTC.livekitAuth.keysYaml in favour of matrixRTC.livekitAuth.{key,secret}.
Both were previously available. keysYaml gave the impression of allowing multiple keys but this was not functional. (#1519)

Allow configuration of privilege in each container's securityContext.
The implicit default of false is maintained and made explicit. (#1506)
Allow ${NAME} literals in the rendered configuration by escaping.
e.g. \${NAME} would render to ${NAME} rather than looking for
an environment variable named NAME to replace with. (#1509)
